ES3640e MFP EFI Configuration Guide - 14
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery, and
includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other
manuals for completing your installation. Check those references
to find the information you need quickly.
Fiery on the network
When the Fiery is connected to a network, it behaves as a
networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on
the printer supports the following network protocols (rules that
enable computers on a network to communicate with each other):
• AppleTalk
• TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol. The lpd protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing
protocol. The nbt protocol supports Windows (SMB) printing.
The port 9100 is the printer server port number to publish print
connections between the print server and a remote computer.
The http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the
Internet and on intranets. The http protocol also supports IPP
printing.
•IPX/SPX(Novell)
IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced
Packet Exchange.
These protocols are supported on Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX
platforms and can run concurrently on the same cable.
Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server
that uses one of the protocols mentioned.
When you add the Fiery to a network, it is assumed that a
network administrator has already installed a network cabling
system and connected workstations and servers.

Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing
administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:
• Physically connecting the Fiery to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the Fiery—obtain cable, route it to the
location where the printer will be installed, and attach the cable to
the network interface. For details, see page 3-58.
• Configuring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to configure those
servers to provide client access to the Fiery as a PostScript printer.
For information on configuring network servers in Windows and
UNIX network environments, see Chapter 2.
• Setting up the Fiery
Configure the Fiery for your particular printing and network
environment. First read Chapter 2, and then see subsequent
chapters for details.
• Preparing client workstations for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install additional user
software, and connect the client to the Fiery over the network.
These steps are described in the User Software Installation Guide,
and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.
• Administering the Fiery
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot
problems that arise. For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and
the Job Management Guide.

Summary of Fiery network installation
UNIX Mac OS Windows At each workstation that will print to the
Fiery:
• Install the appropriate printer files and
connect to one or more queues.
• For computers that will use them,
install Fiery utilities and an Internet
browser.
• Verify the Fiery in the list of printers
and run a test print.

Quick path to installation
The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems you
can use to print and run Fiery software from remote workstations.
Find the page with your preferred platform and network type, and
then look up the setup procedures referenced in the “Key to
setup” in the upper-left corner of each diagram.
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 your network uses more than one protocol or more than one
type of workstation, combine the setups listed for each
component of your system. Multiple protocols (shown in the
diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid
connection from the Fiery with an arrow indicates that other
supported network types can be operational at the same time.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:
