FREEFLOW PRINT SERVER 6.0.xx W-6: Network configuration worksheet Fill out the appropriate worksheet for the network configuration the customer is using. This information is used to configure the network through the FreeFlow Print Server Network Configuration screens. For further information on each network configuration, refer to the FreeFlow Print Server on-line help. IP Configuration Two options are available for configuring TCP/IP on the FreeFlow Print Server. Static IP configuration requires that the System Administrator enter the hostname, IP address, default router gateway, and subnet mask information into the Network configuration UI. This information is available on Worksheet W-1. DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, retrieves the values for the configuration from the DHCP server on the network. The System Administrator can rewrite the hostname. NIS/NIS+ The Network Information Service (NIS and NIS+) provides simple network lookup services. The purpose of NIS and NIS+ is to provide information that needs to be known throughout the network to all machines on the network. If the Domain Name, Server IP Address, and Server Name are not known, select Find One in the dialog. The appropriate information is obtained from the NIS/NIS+ server on the network. The server must be configured to accept broadcast requests.
