• With the Fiery X2 turned off, connect STP cable from the Token Ring MAU to the DB-9
STP connector on the Token Ring card.
Configure the NetWare, Windows NT, or UNIX server to print to the Fiery X2 (see
the next two sections). Then, proceed to page 2-2 for Fiery X2 Setup.

IPX/SPX installations

If your network uses IPX/SPX protocols with Token Ring, configure at least one
printer, a Fiery X2 Print Server and a Fiery X2 Print Queue on the NetWare server as
described in "Configuring a NetWare server for printing" on page 4-4. You can
configure up to eight bindery servers and one NDS tree connection to the Fiery X2.
This total is the same whether the Fiery X2 is connected by Token Ring, by Ethernet,
or by both. For more information, see "Setting up an NDS connection" on page 4-6.
TCP/IP installations
If your network uses TCP/IP protocols with Token Ring, configure a printer and a
Fiery X2 queue on a Windows NT server (see "Configuring a Windows NT 4.0 server
to support the Fiery X2" on page 4-19), or on a UNIX server (see "Setting up the
Fiery X2 on TCP/IP networks" on page 4-28).
Setting up Token Ring on the Fiery X2
Token Ring Setup on the Control Panel is similar to Ethernet Setup. From Network
Setup, perform Port Setup, Protocol Setup, and Service Setup. The setups you need are
summarized in the table on page 2-11.
Connect the Token Ring cable before doing Fiery X2 Network Setup, so that
