PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION4-12 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPSConnectivity requirementsA Token Ring network or an Ethernet local area network (LAN)running Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare software is the networkcommunication system used to transport documents from the clientworkstation to the printer.Ethernet specificationsThe Ethernet connection to the printer controller processor must becompatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE) 802.3 standard.The Ethernet interface on the processor is a 10Mb/sec twisted pairstandard (10BaseT and 100BaseT). The MII (for UltraSPARC) CoaxEthernet is enabled with an adapter cable.The Ethernet interface on the printer controller processor is a 10Mb/sec twisted pair standard (10BaseT and 100BaseT). Attachment UnitInterface (AUI) Coax Ethernet is enabled with an adapter cable.Work with your system administrator to assess what type of networkyou have and what modifications need to be made to supply anEthernet connector to the printer controller processor.Token Ring specificationsThe Token Ring connection must be compatible with the IEEE 802.3standard. The printer controller processor has a 4 MB/16 MB TokenRing interface (16 MB is preferred).Fiber Distributed Data Interface specificationsTCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and Apple Talk network protocols are supportedover FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configurationonly.Table 4-4.AppleTalk preinstallation checklistAppleTalk Network Information Information you supplyAppleTalk Phase 1 or 2AppleTalk zone nameNetwork device used for the AppleTalk protocol
