1-2 Connecting to the Network
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
• Physically connecting the Fiery to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the Fiery—obtain cable, route it to the location where the
printer will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface. For details, see
page 3-8.
• Configuring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide
client access to the Fiery as a PostScript printer. For information on configuring
network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see Chapter 2.
• Setting up the Fiery
Configure the Fiery for your particular printing and network environment. First read
Chapter 2, and then see subsequent chapters for details.
• Preparing client workstations for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the
client to the Fiery over the network. These steps are described in the User Software
Installation Guide, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.
• Administering the Fiery
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise.
For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the Job Management Guide.
