PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
NPS network installation checklist
The DocuPrint NPS system is installed and configured by your service representative. The service representative needs certain information about your network environment to complete the DocuPrint printer controller software installation. Use the preinstallation checklist later in this chapter to gather the necessary information for the installation.
Some of the items in the checklist may not apply to your environment. Fill in those items that you know may apply, and refer to your network administrator for information, if necessary.
Note: If you are installing the DocuPrint NPS in a Novell NetWare environment, refer to the “DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network” appendix of this guide. In addition, ask your Novell network NPS administrator to assist you in completing the checklist in the preinstallation checklist table in this guide.
The information you may need to provide is defined as follows:
Hostname You may use up to 32 characters: upper and lower case alpha
IP address Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period, such as 192.9.200.1, to create an IP address for the DocuPrint system. (Do not use all zeros or designate 255 for all integers when assigning an IP address.)
•
•
You must assign a unique IP address to each NPS controller connected to a TCP/IP network.
Note: To avoid routing problems that will slow down the controller, the IP addresses you assign must belong on different TCP/IP subnets, as determined by the IP subnet netmask.
If you are not on a TCP/IP network, use the
IP netmask Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period, such as 255.255.255.0 to create an IP netmask. (Do not use all zeros or designate 255 for all integers when assigning an IP netmask, and do not use the IP address value.)
•
•
If you are on a TCP/IP network, assign a valid IP netmask.
If you are not on a TCP/IP network and you used the Xerox- supplied IP address value (192.9.200.1), use 255.255.255.0 for the IP netmask.
