PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Connectivity requirements

A Token Ring network or an Ethernet local area network (LAN) running Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare software is the network communication system used to transport documents from the client workstation to the printer.

Ethernet specifications

The Ethernet connection to the printer controller processor must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.

The Ethernet interface on the printer controller processor is a 10Mb/ sec twisted pair standard (10BaseT and 100BaseT). Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) Coax Ethernet is enabled with an adapter cable.

Work with your system administrator to assess what type of network you have and what modifications need to be made to supply an Ethernet connector to the printer controller processor.

Token Ring specifications

The Token Ring connection must be compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard. The printer controller processor has a 4MB or 16 MB Token Ring Auto interface (16 MB is preferred).

Fiber Distributed Data Interface specifications

TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and Apple Talk network protocols are supported over FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration only.
