XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
The DocuPrint NPS system is installed and configured by your
service representative. The service representative needs certain
information about your network environment to complete the
DocuPrint printer controller software installation. Use the "Network
preinstallation checklist" table in this chapter to gather the necessary
information for the installation.
Some of the items in the checklist may not apply to your environment.
Fill in those items that you know may apply, and refer to your network
administrator for information, if necessary.
Note: If you are installing the DocuPrint NPS in a Novell NetWare
environment, refer to this chapter and your Novell network NPS
administrator to assist you in completing the checklist in the "Network
preinstallation checklist" table.
The information you may need to provide is defined as follows:
Hostname A unique name that designates a node on the network. You may use
up to 32 characters: upper and lower case alpha (a-z and A-Z),
integers (0-9), and hyphens (-). The name you choose may be the
same as the printer name.
IP address Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 192.9.200.1, to create an IP address for the DocuPrint
system. (Do not use all zeros or designate 255 for all integers when
assigning an IP address.)
•
You must assign a unique, valid IP address for each TCP/IP
network to which the NPS is attached.
Note: To avoid routing problems that will slow down the
controller, the IP addresses you assign must belong on different
TCP/IP subnets, as determined by the IP subnet netmask.
•
If you are not on a TCP/IP network, use the Xerox-supplied IP
address value (192.9.200.1), or the IP address value assigned
by your network administrator.
IP netmask Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 255.255.255.0 to create an IP netmask. (Do not use all zeros
or designate 255 for all integers when assigning an IP netmask, and
do not use the IP address value.)
•
If you are on a TCP/IP network, assign a valid IP netmask.
•
If you are not on a TCP/IP network and you used the Xerox-
supplied IP address value (192.9.200.1), use 255.255.255.0 for
the IP netmask.
