Adding the Fiery to the TCP/IP network
If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers and Windows clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures on page
TO ADD THE FIERY TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0/ 2000/SERVER 2003 SERVER
1.Register the IP address of the Fiery in the host name database used by your system.
For installations that do not have a network administrator or central host name database, add the Fiery to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server. Also add it to the hosts file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery utilities.
The Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 hosts file provides compatibility with the UNIX hosts file. The hosts file is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS) equivalent. It has the same format as the /etc/hosts file on UNIX servers. The format of the hosts entry is:
IP Address<TAB>host name<TAB>#comments where <TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.
To determine the IP address and server name of your system, print a Configuration page (see page
NOTE: If the Fiery has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, we recommend you use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the /etc/ printcap file.
2.Perform Fiery Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the Fiery, subnet mask, and gateway address).
