Connecting to the Network
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 E-820 with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be
operational at the same time.
A Token Ring card is required for connection to a Token Ring network. For more
information, see

The IPX/SPX and TCP/IP functionality outlined in this section is available on
both Ethernet and Token Ring networks. AppleTalk is supported on Ethernet only.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:
AppleTalk
IPX (Novell)
Other
TCP/IP (lpd,
nbt, or http)
