33-2 Setting up network servers In addition to printing, the Fiery SI utilities-job management, spooling, downloading, scanning, and calibration-are available to Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 users that have IPX/SPX protocols loaded. The utility software can be loaded and configured on each workstation that uses it, as described in Getting Started. In this case, Windows 95 workstations are communicating with the Fiery SI directly, not through the NetWare server. The Fiery SI can receive print jobs from NetWare servers over Ethernet or token ring network architecture and cabling. Appendix A describes the Token Ring option. When Ethernet is used, you select a single frame type to use between the NetWare server and the Fiery SI. Frame type describes the format of a communications packet; it is specified in a startup file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation using Ethernet) loads its network drivers. Tips for experts-IPX networks Setting up the color server is similar to setting up another PostScript printer on the network. The following information is all that experienced network administrators need. Detailed explanations are found in this manual and in the other user documentation. A Fiery SI Color Server with IPX connections has these characteristics: • The Fiery SI supports NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode. • A basic connection to the Fiery SI consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue. After configuring these items for printing to the Fiery SI, you enter IPX (Novell) Setup on the Fiery SI and enter the name of the NetWare file server and print server. In Printer Setup you select the NetWare file server and attach it to one of the Fiery SI connections (Direct, Print Queue, or Hold Queue). • One Fiery SI connection is available for each NetWare file server, and one NetWare print server is serviced per file server. All NetWare print queues on that print server are polled for print jobs. Up to eight IPX connections (i.e. eight file servers) can be configured over Ethernet, and eight over token ring.

Setting up network servers
In addition to printing, the Fiery SI utilities—job management, spooling,
downloading, scanning, and calibration—are available to Windows 95 and Windows
3.1 users that have IPX/SPX protocols loaded. The utility software can be loaded and
configured on each workstation that uses it, as described in
Getting Started
. In this case,
Windows 95 workstations are communicating with the Fiery SI directly, not through
the NetWare server.
The Fiery SI can receive print jobs from NetWare servers over Ethernet or token ring
network architecture and cabling. Appendix A describes the Token Ring option. When
Ethernet is used, you select a single frame type to use between the NetWare server and
the Fiery SI. Frame type describes the format of a communications packet; it is
specified in a startup file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation using
Ethernet) loads its network drivers.
Tips for experts—IPX networks
Setting up the color server is similar to setting up another PostScript printer on the
network. The following information is all that experienced network administrators
need. Detailed explanations are found in this manual and in the other user
documentation.
A Fiery SI Color Server with IPX connections has these characteristics:
•
The Fiery SI supports NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode.
•
A basic connection to the Fiery SI consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare print
server, and a NetWare queue.
After configuring these items for printing to the Fiery SI, you enter IPX (Novell) Setup
on the Fiery SI and enter the name of the NetWare file server and print server. In
Printer Setup you select the NetWare file server and attach it to one of the Fiery SI

•
One Fiery SI connection is available for each NetWare file server, and one NetWare
print server is serviced per file server.
All NetWare print queues on that print server are polled for print jobs. Up to eight IPX
connections (i.e. eight file servers) can be configured over Ethernet, and eight over
token ring.
