SETTING UP WORKSTATIONS
Installing Xerox Client Software for UNIX
You install Xerox Client Software on client workstations using the ftp command to log on to the Printer Controller, retrieve an installation command file, and execute it. This procedure automatically downloads the software.
Note: In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to print, Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is specified during installation or by using the Configure utility. Also, in order to download the client software, FTP capability must be enabled on the controller. This is specified during installation or via the Configure utility. If security is a concern, FTP capability can be disabled after the software is downloaded by using Configure. For more information, see the chapter “Using utility commands” in your Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.
At the client workstation, log on to the client as root and perform the following steps:
1.Verify that the Printer Controller name and TCP/IP address are located in the /etc/hosts file.
2.If an entry containing the Printer Controller name and TCP/IP address does not exist, add it unless you are using an NIS or DNS name service.
3.To verify that the client workstation can communicate with the Printer Controller, enter one of the following utility commands at the > prompt:
•
•
ping <Printer Controller name>
ftp <Printer Controller name>
If the response to these commands is “unknown host,” go back to step 1.
4.Change directories to the user home directory.
Note: You can use any directory to execute the command file, but using the home directory is preferred.
5.Find the client directory and command file for your client platform in the table below.
