5-13 ColorPASS on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0
Adding the ColorPASS to the TCP/IP network
If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0 servers, Windows NT 4.0
clients, and Windows 2000 clients, use the directions in this section. If the network
also includes UNIX workstations, also refer to the directions on page 5-19.
TO ADD THE COLORPASS TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A
W
INDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER:
1. Register the IP address of the ColorPASS in the host name database used by your
system.
For installations that don’t have a network administrator or a central host name
database, add the ColorPASS to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0 server. Also add
it to the hosts file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery
utilities.
The Windows NT 4.0 hosts file provides compatibility with the UNIX hosts file. The
hosts file is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS) equivalent. It has the same
format as the /etc/hosts file on UNIX servers. The format of the hosts entry is:
IP Address<TAB>host name<TAB>#comments
where <TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.
To determine the IP Address and Server Name of your system, print a Configuration
page (see page 3-47).
NOTE: If the ColorPASS has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent
host name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, it is recommended that
you use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the
/etc/printcap file.
2. Perform ColorPASS Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the ColorPASS, Subnet mask, and
Gateway address).
