The Fiery X4 searches the network for AppleTalk zones in your network segment. 
Scroll through the list to select the AppleTalk zone in which you want the Fiery X4 to 
appear. If your segment has only one zone, the Fiery X4 is assigned to that zone auto-
matically.

The message “No AppleTalk zone found” may mean your network has no zones, or the 
network cable is not connected (see page 6-4). Choose OK to dismiss the message.

To configure the Fiery X4, choose each protocol and enter the settings for that 
protocol. You can enable AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX communication 
simultaneously.

Network Setup

Protocol Setup

Select 

Yes

 if you have an AppleTalk network connected to the Fiery X4. This 

setting enables the Fiery X4 to communicate over AppleTalk networks.

To configure the Fiery X4 for TCP/IP, choose TCP/IP Setup.

Choose Ethernet Setup and enter the appropriate settings. Choose each network 
type you use (Ethernet and/or Token Ring) and enter the appropriate settings. 
Token Ring Setup appears as an option only if you have enabled Token Ring in Port 
Setup.

If TCP/IP is running on both an Ethernet and a Token Ring network, it is 

assumed that the two networks are already routed to each other. The Fiery X4 does 
not function as a router.

When you set an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the Fiery X4 during 
Setup, you can allow the Fiery X4 to get these addresses automatically from a DHCP, 
BOOTP, or RARP server. First, turn on or reboot the Fiery X4 and allow it to reach 
Idle. Next, make sure the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server is running. Finally, 
perform Fiery X4 Setup.

Select 

Yes

 to allow the Fiery X4 to obtain its Ethernet IP address by searching the net-

work. Depending on your network and the protocol you select in the following option 
(DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP), the IP address can change. Select 

No

 to assign the 

Fiery X4 a static IP address that will not change. If you select 

No

, you proceed to the IP 

Address option, where you manually set the IP address. 

Network Setup

Protocol Setup

TCP/IP Setup

Select 

Yes

 if you have a TCP/IP network connected to the Fiery X4 over Ethernet 

cabling.

If you use Token Ring, enabling TCP/IP for Token Ring is required for enabling the 
Fiery WebTools.

If you are using TCP/IP for printing from Windows 95/98 computers or 

Windows NT 4.0 workstations, enabling TCP/IP here also enables you to use Fiery 
utilities from Windows 95/98 computers or Windows NT 4.0 workstations using 
TCP/IP protocols.

This option appears only if you answered 

Yes

 to Enable Auto IP Configuration. Select 

the protocol over which the Fiery X4 should search for its IP address. Both 

DHCP

 and 

BOOTP

 allow the Fiery X4 to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask automat-

ically. 

RARP

 obtains only the Ethernet IP address.

Depending on your network, the Fiery X4 might be assigned a different address after 
you reboot the Fiery X4. With the 

DHCP

 setting, the Fiery X4 can be assigned a differ-

ent address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already configured 
properly for the protocol you select.

Use this option to get the gateway address automatically for printing with TCP/IP. 
This option appears only if you selected 

DHCP

 or 

BOOTP

 as the protocol in the previous 

option.

If you select a 

DHCP

 or 

BOOTP

 protocol and later change it to 

RARP

, you must return to 

Setup and set this option to 

No

. You can then set the address manually. This is because 

RARP does not support automatic assignment of the gateway address.

Enter the Fiery X4 IP address for Ethernet. This IP address, unlike an IP address set 
automatically, remains the same if you reboot the Fiery X4. You must change the 
default 127.0.0.1 to a valid address for your network. For information about setting up 
printing with TCP/IP, see Chapter 5.

This option lets you modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP over Ethernet. 
The subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 by default. To set the subnet mask, enter one 
of the following values:

•

255.0.0.0

 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128

•

255.255.0.0

 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191

•

255.255.255.0

 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191

Confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator before 

proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those listed.

This option appears only if you answered 

No

 to Get Gateway Address Automatically, or 

if you selected 

RARP

 as the protocol. 

Use this option to set the gateway address for printing with TCP/IP. If your network 
uses a gateway, you must change the default 127.0.0.1 to a correct gateway address for 
your network.

The gateway address applies to either a Token Ring or an Ethernet network. If TCP/IP 
is running on both an Ethernet and a Token Ring network, the gateway address you 
enter must be in the same subnet as either the Ethernet or the Token Ring address.

Enable TCP/IP for Token Ring, and enter the IP address and subnet mask. Then, if 
your TCP/IP network has a gateway, and users outside the gateway plan to print to the 
Fiery X4 using TCP/IP, enter the gateway address.

Select 

Yes

 if you have a TCP/IP network connected to the Fiery X4 over Token 

Ring.

If you use Token Ring, enabling TCP/IP for Token Ring is required for enabling the 
Fiery WebTools.

If you are using TCP/IP for printing from Windows 95/98 computers or 

Windows NT 4.0 workstations, enabling TCP/IP here also lets you use the Fiery
