33-1 Fiery SI on an IPX network Chapter 3: Setting up network servers This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers-Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT servers-that will share printing to the Fiery SI Color Server. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery SI. In addition, it includes some guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT workstations and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. It also outlines the requirements for network clients so they can print to the servers and run Fiery SI utilities. Where appropriate, you are referred to Getting Started and User Guide for details. If your network is based on Windows NT, skip to page 3-17. If your network includes UNIX workstations, skip to page 3-28. Fiery SI on an IPX network Novell NetWare, the IPX networking operating system, includes NetWare's Queue Management Services, which handle printing. Fiery SI supports NetWare versions 3.11 and 3.12 directly. It supports version 4.x in bindery emulation mode (see "Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context" on page 3-6). IPX/SPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange) is one of the protocols the Fiery SI supports directly, and it is provided with Windows 95. NetWare clients print to the Fiery SI through the Novell network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in Getting Started, and printing is described in the User Guide. Fiery SI can accept IPX print jobs concurrently with jobs sent through AppleTalk and TCP/IP protocols. Macintosh computers on the same network as a NetWare server can use AppleTalk to communicate with the NetWare server if NetWare for Macintosh is installed, or they can print directly to the color server.
