2-2 Setting up Network Servers
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools from a
Windows computer.
Tips for experts—Windows with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows using TCP/IP protocols is similar to setting up
UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations, note the following:
• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery and any workstations that will print
to it or run the Fiery utilities.
• In Fiery Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for the Fiery.
Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them
dynamically.
• Make sure the Fiery name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or
host name database used by your system.
• Make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery as a
remote printer.
For more information, see page 2-17 .
• For Windows, install the appropriate printer driver files on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/
Server 2003 server.
For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide .
• Repeat the installation for all users who print to the Fiery.
Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the
TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.
Configuring a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to
communicate with the Fiery
To configure a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to communicate with the
Fiery, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections in this
chapter and in your Microsoft documentation.
• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway.
