11-4 Connecting to the Network Quick path to installation The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and for using the DocuColor utilities. To use the diagrams, find the page with your preferred platform and network type. Then look up the setup procedures in the pages and books referred to in the keys. The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology) of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical networks is beyond the scope of this manual. If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation, combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Note that multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the DocuColor with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time. NOTE: The networking functionality outlined in this section is available on both Ethernet and Token Ring networks. A Token Ring card is required for connection to a Token Ring network. Token Ring drivers are included with DocuColor system software. See Appendix A for details. The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows: IPX (Novell) AppleTalk TCP/IP (lpd or nbt) Parallel Other

The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing
and for using the DocuColor utilities. To use the diagrams, find the page with your
preferred platform and network type. Then look up the setup procedures in the pages
and books referred to in the keys.
The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are
logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology)
of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each
logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star
configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical
networks is beyond the scope of this manual.
If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation,
combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Note that multiple
protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid
connection from the DocuColor with an arrow indicates that other supported network
types can be operational at the same time.

The networking functionality outlined in this section is available on both Ether-
net and Token Ring networks. A Token Ring card is required for connection to a
Token Ring network. Token Ring drivers are included with DocuColor system soft-
ware. See Appendix A for details.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:
