Configuration

Xerox 4500 PS TR

3.2 Minimum configuration

With a minimum configuration on protocol level in addition to the default settings, the PrintServer is ready for operation.

A minimum configuration is necessary as it is system dependent and no default value will apply in this case. The parameters stated in the minimum configuration are mandatorysettings for the PrintServer to become operational.

To set the minimum configuration parameters, use either the program PSInst32 or the minimum configuration file supplied with the configuration diskettes.

The minimum configuration only covers the most basic printing needs and a more advanced configuration will have to be done using of the other supported configuration methods.

PSInst32

This program is described later in this chapter.

Minimum configuration file

Modify the parameters in the minimum configuration file to suit your system configuration. A sample configuration file is shown later in this chapter. For download of the configuration file, see the section “Configuration using Setup file”.

3.2.1 Mandatory settings

TCP/IP

If you wish to operate via the TCP/IP protocol, the parameters below must be set. These are system dependent and thus the default values will not apply. Once these parameters have been defined, printing via LPD and PPD ports can be performed.

Mandatory parameters:

IP address

Subnet mask

Gateway

These parameters shouldnot be chosen at random. Contact your system administrator for details.

IP address

To receive data on your network you need to define an IP address. This IP address is unique in the Internet environment and consists of a network ID and a host ID. The IP address uses the address classes A, B and C for the various network sizes.
