Preparing for installation
NPS/IPS network installation checklist
The DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS system is installed and configured by your service representative. The service representative needs certain information about your network environment to complete the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS printer controller software installation. Use the “Network preinstallation checklist” table 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 DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS in a Novell NetWare environment, refer to this chapter and your Novell network NPS/IPS administrator to assist you in completing the checklist in the “Network preinstallation checklist” table.
The information you may need to provide is defined as follows:
Hostname A unique name that designates a node on the network. 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 DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS system. (Do not use all zeros or designate 255 for all integers when assigning an IP address.)
•You must assign a unique, valid IP address for each TCP/IP network to which the NPS/IPS is attached.
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
