The XNIC-ENET
The XNIC-ENET is an Ethernet interface card that plugs
directly into the printer. Connection to the Ethernet network
may be made using either Thinnet (10base2) cable (which
uses a BNC connector), or unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP/10baseT) cable (which uses an RJ-45 connector). Two
LEDs on the connection panel are visual indicators of network
activity.
The XNIC-TRING
The XNIC-TRING is a Token Ring interface card that plugs
directly into the printer. Connection to the Token Ring
network may be made using either shielded twisted pair
(STP) cable (which uses a DB-9 connector), or unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable (which uses an RJ-45 connector).
When your printer is attached to a network with the XNIC, it
may be used from virtually any computer on the network. If
more than one system requests a print job at the same time,
the XNIC ensures that each job is printed in the order that it
is received at the XNIC. However, the priority that the XNIC
services print jobs from the different networks can be
changed.
