Adding the GA-1040 to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0 servers and Windows NT 4.0 clients, use the directions in this section.

TO ADD THE GA-1040TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A

WINDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER

1.Register the IP address of the GA-1040 in the host name database used by your system.

The hosts file maps remote devices to IP addresses. Users can then communicate with any device over TCP/IP by using the host name rather than having to remember its IP address.

For installations that do not have a network administrator or a central host name database, add the GA-1040 to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0 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 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 from the GA-1040 Touch Panel Display (see page 2-20).

NOTE: If the GA-1040 has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the /etc/printcap file.

2.On the GA-1040 Touch Panel Display, perform Server Setup, Network Setup and Printer Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the GA-1040, Subnet mask, and Gateway address).
