Token Ring Network Option
IPX/SPX installations
If your network uses IPX/SPX protocols with Token Ring, configure at least one
printer, one Pi5500 Print Server, and one Pi5500 Print Queue on the NetWare server
as described in “Configuring a NetWare server for printing” on page 4-7. You can
configure up to eight bindery servers and one NDS tree connection to the Pi5500.
This total is the same whether the Pi5500 is connected by Token Ring, Ethernet, or
both. For more information, see “Setting up an NDS connection” on page 4-9.
TCP/IP installations
If your network uses TCP/IP protocols with Token Ring, configure at least one
printer and one Pi5500 queue on a Windows NT server (see “Configuring a
Windows NT 4.0 server to support the Pi5500” on page 4-12) or UNIX server
(see “Setting up the Pi5500 on TCP/IP networks” on page 4-20).
Setting up Token Ring on the Pi5500
Token Ring Setup on the Control Panel is similar to Ethernet Setup. From Network
Setup, perform Port Setup, Protocol Setup, and Service Setup. The setups you need are
summarized in the table on page 2-10.

:
Connect the Token Ring cable before doing Pi5500 Network Setup, so that the
Token Ring card can configure itself properly.
Setting up NetWare Windows clients
Client setup is exactly the same as for IPX clients using Ethernet. For details, see
“Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing” on page 4-10.
