mandatory configuration in the print server is the entering of an IP address (TROY XCD print servers come with a default IP address of 192.0.0.192 (192.189.207.254 on some models) but this should be changed to meet the addressing requirements of your network).

TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration

The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. Unfortunately, this process is not very standardized, so refer to your system documenta- tion (or man pages) for additional information.

1.Configure the /etc/hosts file (or equivalent local host table) on each UNIX host that needs to communicate with the TROY XCD print server, or provide similar information to a name server on the network. Use your favorite editor to add an entry to the /etc/hosts file containing the IP address and node name of the TROY XCD print server. For example:

192.189.207.3XCD_00C351

The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, so check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the etc/hosts file.

Note: The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be the same as the one that is actually configured into the TROY XCD print server (the name that appears on the printer self-test), but it is good practice to make the names the same (however, some operating systems, such as HP/UX, do not accept the "_" character in the default name, so for these systems
