When you perform Network Setup, you configure the Fiery X3eTY2 to receive print jobs over 
the network systems that are used at your site.

In the Setup menu, choose Network Setup, where you specify network addresses and names 
to be used by workstations, servers, and the Fiery X3eTY2 when they communicate with each 
other.

The Network Setup menu includes three submenus that allow you to choose port types, 
protocols, and network services. You must perform Port Setup and enable at least one port.

For each item you enable, you are prompted to enter settings for that item. Default values, 
where applicable, appear in this manual with square brackets.

Before performing Network Setup, confirm that the Fiery X3eTY2 is connected to an active 
network. The Fiery X3eTY2 queries the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues. 
If you perform Network Setup without a connected and functioning network, default settings 
are used that may not be appropriate for your printing environment.

Display and select options only for the network systems that are currently used at your site. If 
your network requirements change, you can change Network Setup at any time. 

If the Fiery X3eTY2 is configured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically switches 
to the correct protocol when it receives a print job. 

The available network types, and the Setup areas that pertain to them, are summarized in the 
following table. 

AppleTalk over Ethernet

TCP/IP over Ethernet

or both)

To configure the Fiery X3eTY2, choose each port type you use and enter the settings for that 
port. You must choose at least one port type. Since network setups are nested, the names of 
higher-level menus are shown in this chapter to the left of each menu heading.

Select Yes if Ethernet cabling is connected to the Fiery X3eTY2.

Select an appropriate setting according to the settings of the network to which the 
Fiery X3eTY2 is connected. Select Auto Detect if your network environment is mixed or you 
do not know the network speed.

The 1 Gbps (gigabit per second) setting is full-duplex.

To configure the Fiery X3eTY2, choose each protocol and enter the settings for that protocol. 
You can enable AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX communication simultaneously.

Select Yes if an AppleTalk network is connected to the Fiery X3eTY2. This setting enables the 
Fiery X3eTY2 to communicate over AppleTalk networks.

The Fiery X3eTY2 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 X3eTY2 to appear. 
If your segment has only one zone, the Fiery X3eTY2 is assigned to that zone automatically.

The message “No AppleTalk zone found” may mean your network has no zones, or the 
network cable is not connected.

Protocol Setup

To configure the Fiery X3eTY2 for TCP/IP, choose IPv4 Setup. You can also choose whether 
to enable IPv6 (see 

).

When you set an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the Fiery X3eTY2 during 
Setup, you can allow the Fiery X3eTY2 to obtain these addresses automatically from a DHCP 
or BOOTP server. Turn on or restart the Fiery X3eTY2, allow it to reach Idle, make sure the 
DHCP or BOOTP server is running, and then perform Network Setup.

Select Yes if a TCP/IP network is connected to the Fiery X3eTY2 over Ethernet cabling.

If you use TCP/IP for printing from Windows computers, enabling TCP/IP here also 

enables you to use utilities from Windows computers using TCP/IP protocols.

Select Yes to allow the Fiery X3eTY2 to obtain its Ethernet IP address by searching the 
network. Depending on your network and the protocol you select in the following option 
(DHCP or BOOTP), the IP address can change. Select No to assign the Fiery X3eTY2 a 
static IP address.

Depending on your selection, the following options appear:

You can configure the Fiery X3eTY2 so that it can access an appropriate DNS server. With a 
DNS server, users connecting the utilities or WebTools from remote workstations to the 
Fiery X3eTY2 need to remember only its Server Name, which is easier to remember than an 
IP address.

Select the protocol over which the Fiery X3eTY2 
searches for its IP address. Both DHCP and 
BOOTP allow the Fiery X3eTY2 to obtain the 
Ethernet IP address and subnet 
mask automatically.

Depending on your network, the Fiery X3eTY2 
might be assigned a different address after you 
restart the Fiery X3eTY2. With the DHCP 
setting, the Fiery X3eTY2 can be assigned a 
different address even if it is not restarted. Make 
sure the network is already configured properly for 
the protocol you select.

DHCP option 81 is supported.

Enter the Fiery X3eTY2 IP address for Ethernet. 
This IP address, unlike an IP address set 
automatically, remains the same if you restart the 
Fiery X3eTY2. You must change the default to a 
valid address for your network. For information 
about setting up printing with TCP/IP, see 

Modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP 
over Ethernet.

Confirm the subnet mask setting with 

your network administrator before proceeding.

Choose whether to assign automatically the 
gateway address for printing with TCP/IP. If you 
choose No, enter the gateway address in the 
following option.

Set the gateway address for printing with TCP/IP 
on your network.

If you answered No to the previous option, 
set the gateway address for printing with TCP/IP 
on your network.
