SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Ethernet LAN

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the

DocuPrint NPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using either the TCP/

IP, AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or

Novell NetWare as the network protocol.

Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet connection to the Printer Controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.

FDDI Backbone LAN

FDDI is ANSI-standard 100 megabit fiber optic backbone LAN using up to 200 km of optical fiber, or twisted copper pairs for short hops. It supports the TCP/IP protocol and Novell NetWare. The Sun FDDI driver is incorporated into the NPS print controller software. DocuPrint NPS supports the optical fiber implementation of FDDI.

Token Ring

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the

DocuPrint NPS printer over a Token Ring network using TCP/IP,

Novell NetWare or AppleTalk network protocol.

Regardless of the printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring connection to the Printer Controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5 standard.

Multiple network connectivity

DocuPrint NPS supports multiple network connectivity, that is, the ability for protocols such as TCP/IP to run on more than one network interface. For TCP/IP, DocuPrint NPS can support any combination of Ethernet, 100 Mbit Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI. One interface is designated as the primary network interface. Novell NetWare can run on only the primary network interface, but the type of interface can be selected.

AppleTalk can run on only one network interface, but it doesn’t have to be the primary one.
