11-1 Fiery SI on the network Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up a Fiery SI, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. If you check those references, you should be able to find the information you need quickly. Fiery SI on the network When the Fiery SI is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery SI supports three network protocols: AppleTalk, the lpd protocol of TCP/IP, and IPX (Novell). These three protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) are supported on the Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or they can print to the Fiery SI parallel port. A Token Ring option is also available on some systems. The Fiery SI is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously. When you add a Fiery SI to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers, and perhaps one or more printers.

Fiery SI on the network
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up a Fiery SI, and includes diagrams that
refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. If you
check those references, you should be able to find the information you need quickly.
Fiery SI on the network
When the Fiery SI is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript
printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery SI supports three network
protocols: AppleTalk, the lpd protocol of TCP/IP, and IPX (Novell). These three
protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other)
are supported on the Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run
concurrently on the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can
print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or they can print to
the Fiery SI parallel port. A Token Ring option is also available on some systems. The
Fiery SI is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.
When you add a Fiery SI to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will
have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and serv-
ers, and perhaps one or more printers.
