Setting up network servers
Adding the Fiery SI to the TCP/IP network
If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT servers and Windows NT clients,
use the directions in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also
check the directions on page 3-30.

:
1.
On the Fiery SI Control Panel, perform Server Setup, Network Setup and Printer Setup
to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in TCP/IP Setup (IP address of the Fiery SI, Subnet mask, and Gate-
way address). In the Printer Setup publish at least one queue: Print or Hold.
2.
Register the IP address of the Fiery SI in the host name database used by your system.
For installations that don’t have a network administrator or a central host name
database, add the Fiery SI to the
hosts
file on the Windows NT server. Also add it to
the
hosts
file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery SI
utilities.
Adding a Fiery SI entry to the Windows NT hosts file
The
hosts
file maps remote devices to IP addresses. Host names are used in TCP/IP
environments to locate IP addresses. Users can then communicate with any device over
TCP/IP by using the host name rather than having to remember its IP address.
A generic
hosts
file is added to the Windows directory when you install TCP/IP
support. Use this as a basis for creating a local
hosts
file if there is no system-wide host
name database.
