Preparing for installation
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
802.3standard. The printer controller processor has a 4 MB/16 MB Token Ring interface (16 MB is preferred).
Channel-attached specifications
For an online configuration with an IBM host system, the following cables must be available:
•Bus and tag cables (bus in, bus out, tag in, tag out)
•Terminators (if necessary, due to location on channel).
For your convenience, it is possible to order the bus and tag cables for the printer through Xerox on a
