Select 

Yes

 to allow the Fiery X4 to obtain its Token Ring IP address. 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.

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 Token Ring IP address and Subnet Mask 

automatically. 

RARP

 obtains only the Token Ring 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 Token Ring. 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 Token 
Ring. 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.

IPX/SPX Setup options 

To specify the frame types the Fiery X4 uses for IPX/SPX protocols, choose 
IPX/SPX Setup from the Protocol Setup menu. You must choose at least one frame 
type to enable IPX/SPX protocols. The Fiery X4 supports the following frame types 
for IPX/SPX:

• For Ethernet—Ethernet 802.2, Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet II, and Ethernet SNAP

• For Token Ring—Token Ring and Token Ring SNAP

For protocols other than IPX/SPX, the frame type is automatically enabled and does 
not require setup, as follows:

You can clear all frame types at once by choosing Exit IPX/SPX Setup, then choosing 
IPX/SPX Setup and selecting Clear Frame Types.

AppleTalk

PAP (Printer Access Protocol)

Ethernet SNAP

TCP/IP with Ethernet

LPD (Line Printer Daemon)

Ethernet II

TCP/IP with Token Ring

LPD (Line Printer Daemon)

Token Ring SNAP

Specify whether the Fiery X4 should try to bind to all available frame types 
automatically. The Fiery X4 does so whether or not all frame types are appropriate. 
To determine the frame types that were successfully bound, save your changes, exit 
Setup, allow the Fiery X4 to reboot, and print a Configuration page. The 
Configuration page lists only one of the frame types that were successfully bound.

If you answer No to this option, you can select frame types manually. You must 
choose at least one frame type to enable IPX/SPX protocols.
The frame selection screen allows you to make multiple selections. Depending on 
your Port Setup selection, only Ethernet frame types, only Token Ring frame types, 
or all frame types are displayed. 

Press the line selection button beside each frame type used on your IPX/SPX 
network. An asterisk (*) appears beside each selected frame type. Press the line 
selection button again to deselect a frame type. Use the up and down buttons to 
scroll to additional frame types. The Fiery X4 binds to each frame type as you select 
it.

When you have selected all the frame types used, choose Exit IPX/SPX Setup.

Network Service Setup has options for TCP/IP and IPX/SPX networks.

• LPD Setup enables lpd printing on TCP/IP networks. 

• For IPX/SPX networks, PServer Setup allows you to enter the names of the Novell 

objects that are concerned with Fiery X4 print jobs. 

• Windows Setup enables the Microsoft SMB (Server Message Block) protocol, which 

supports peer-to-peer printing, also known as Windows printing or SMB printing. 

• Web Services Setup enables the http protocol and, therefore, use of the 

Fiery WebTools. 

• Port 9100 Setup allows users to download jobs to a print connection on the 

Fiery X4.

PServer is a program in the Fiery X4 that can service the Novell print queues assigned 
to the Novell print servers you have set up for printing to the Fiery X4. When you 
choose PServer Setup and enable PServer, you can set up NDS (Novell Directory 
Services), Bindery Services, or both. NDS is used with NetWare 4.x; Bindery Services 
are used with NetWare 3.x or with NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode.
