11-1 Fiery on the networkThis chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery, and includes diagrams thatrefer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. Checkthose references to find the information you need quickly.Fiery on the networkWhen the Fiery is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScriptprinter. The built-in Ethernet interface on the printer supports the following networkprotocols (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 lpdprotocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supportsWindows (SMB) printing. The port 9100 is the printer server port number topublish print connections between the print server and a remote computer. The httpprotocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets. Thehttp 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 canrun concurrently on the same cable. Workstations that use other protocols can printthrough a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned.When you add the Fiery to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator hasalready installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.Chapter 1:Connecting tothe Network
