4-1 Fiery X2 on an IPX network

Chapter 4:
Setting up
Network Servers
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that will share
printing to the Fiery X2. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP
protocols for communicating with the Fiery X2. In addition, it includes some
guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations
and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines
the requirements for network clients to print to the Fiery X2 and to run the Fiery
utilities and Fiery WebTools.
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, skip to page 4-17. For information on
UNIX workstations, skip to page 4-26.

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privi-
leges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
Fiery X2 on an IPX network
The NetWise ™ features built into the Fiery X2 supports the following network
operating environments:
• NetWare 4.x—NDS (Novell Directory Services)
• NetWare 3.x—Bindery services
• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode
The term "bindery server" is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare 3.x,
or running NetWare 4.x in emulation mode. The term "NDS" is used to describe
components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x in native mode.
NetWare clients print to the Fiery X2 through the Novell network server. Server setup
and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in
Getting Started, and printing is described in the User Guide.
