Datastreams Datastreams are handled the same as described with the Ethernet
interface above.
PC online interface
There is a third-party interface that allows a PC to be connected
directly to an LPS in an online configuration. Contact The Xerox
Connection or your Xerox representative for connectivity and
application software information for this configuration.
Macintosh workstations
Macintosh PCs are generally connected to an AppleTalk network.
They may also be configured to connect to Ethernet. The type
of LAN you use in your facility depends on the number of
Macintosh PCs you want to connect to the LPS. If you want only
a few of your Macintosh PCs to be capable of sending
documents to the LPS, then an Ethernet connection may be
more cost effective. If you have a large number of Macintosh
PCs in your facility and you require all of them to be capable of
transmitting to the printer, it is less expensive to use AppleTalk
and convert to Ethernet through a communication module.
AppleTalk network interface
The standard Macintosh LAN configuration is through AppleTalk,
as shown in figure 4-9. Most networked Macintosh PCs use
AppleTalk to communicate with a printer.
Communication protocols The LPS does not accept input directly from an AppleTalk
network. AppleTalk must first be converted to Ethernet, so a
communication module such as Shiva’s FASTPATH is necessary.
FASTPATH converts AppleTalk communication protocols into
TCP/IP protocol on Ethernet. The TCP/IP print jobs can then be
converted into XNS print jobs by a front end processor.
