Ethernet Setup 5-3

Introduction

This chapter covers configuration for the EtherTalk, Novell Print Server, and Line Printer protocols on the printer’s Ethernet interface using printer front panel menus, XANTÉ Command Center, and specific network software. It also covers NetBEUI configuration in a PC environment.

EtherTalk Network Configuration

Ethernet, a multiple protocol medium, allows you to run several network protocols concurrently. An EtherTalk network allows you to run the AppleTalk protocol on a physical base which can be three to five times faster than a LocalTalk network.

Note: Typically, only Macintosh computers are installed on an EtherTalk network. If you have PCs operating in an EtherTalk network, see the documentation that came with your PC EtherTalk interface.

The following steps are required to set up your XANTÉ printer on an EtherTalk network. Chapter 2 covers step 1, chapter 6 covers step 2, and this section covers steps 3 and 4.

1.Connect your XANTÉ printer to the network through the Ethernet port.

2.Enable the printer’s EtherTalk interface, if necessary.

3.Select the EtherTalk Phase 2 driver.

4.Change the EtherTalk Zone name, if necessary.

Select the EtherTalk Phase 2 Driver

Your printer supports EtherTalk Phase 2 on an EtherTalk network. If the Phase 2 driver is not included with your Macintosh operating system, call the vendor that supplied the Ethernet card for your Macintosh.
