Setting up network servers
Setting up the Fiery SI on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery SI, must have a
unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). If the network is being set up for the first
time, it’s a good idea to start out with addresses that can be used with the public
Internet. For a new IP network installation, address information can be obtained from
the InterNIC at 505 Huntmar Drive, Herndon, VA 22070, phone (703) 742-4777. If
you already have an Internet account, contact your Internet service provider for an
additional address for the Fiery SI.
Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery SI as a remote
printer, or can print to a UNIX workstation acting as a print server. Since the Fiery SI
spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in placing another print
server between a workstation and the Fiery SI.

:
1.
Specify the appropriate settings in the Fiery SI Server Setup.
In the Server Setup, a Printed queue can be enabled. This is only useful if the Fiery XJ
Spooler is available to some users on the network. To access Fiery SI Setup, see
page 2-2.
2.
Specify the appropriate settings in the Fiery SI Network Setup.
Enable TCP/IP in the Network Setup, and enter a valid IP address for the Fiery SI. In
addition, if the TCP/IP network uses a gateway, enter the gateway address. If it uses a
subnet mask, enter the value of the subnet mask.
3.
Specify the appropriate settings in the Fiery SI Printer Setup.
You must publish the queue or queues that will be available for networked users.

1.
A superuser (with root login) must add the Fiery SI to the network’s IP host table or
other system database of network printers.
2.
In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print
server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the Fiery SI name you assigned.
3.
Make the Fiery SI available as a printer to other network users.
