Ethernet cable connection
Before you begin
The following steps should be completed before you configure the Fiery SI and the
workstations that will print to the Fiery SI. A service technician will have performed
some initial installation.

INSTALLATION
:
1.
Make a copier test page to make sure the copier is functioning normally.
2.
Shut down the copier and connect the interface cable from the copier to the Fiery SI.
3.
onnect the network cable to the Fiery SI, as described in the next section.
An Ethernet network should already be installed and operational.
4.
Turn on the copier and the Fiery SI.
5.
Prepare network servers to share Fiery SI user software and to enable networked users
to print to the Fiery SI, and proceed to Setup.
See Chapters 2 and 3 for details.
Ethernet cable connection
The Fiery SI supports Ethernet cabling of three types:
• Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 2)
Uses an external transceiver (media attachment unit, or MAU) to attach to the AUI
(attachment unit interface) connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery SI.
• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 5)
Cable connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the
Fiery SI.
• Twisted pair (unshielded twisted pair cable or 10Base-T)
Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Fiery SI.
The Ethernet connectors lead to the Ethernet network adapter chip built into the main
logic board of the Fiery SI.
