PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 4-7
Connectivity requirements
A Token Ring network or an Ethernet local area network running
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the
network communication system that may be used to transport
documents from the host to the IPS. This is an alternative to the
channel-attached configuration, in which data is transmitted via bus
and tag cables and the HCU.
Note: The TCP/IP connectivity option is not available in a VM or
VSE environment. However, a printing system with PSF/2 or
PSF/6000 can attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2 or PSF/
6000 can furnish the TCP/IP support for the IPS printer.
Ethernet specifications
The Ethernet connection to the printer controller processor must be
compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) 802.3 standard.
The Ethernet interface on the processor is a 10Mb/sec twisted pair
standard (10BaseT and 100BaseT). The AUI (for SuperSPARC) or
the MII (for UltraSPARC) Coax Ethernet is enabled with an adapter
cable.
Work with your system administrator to assess what type of network
you have and what modifications need to be made to supply an
Ethernet connector to the printer controller processor.
Token Ring specifications
The Token Ring connection must be compatible with the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard. The
printer controller processor has a 4MB Token Ring interface.
Channel-attached specifications
For an online configuration with an IBM host system, the following
cables must be available:
• Bus and tag cables (bus in, bus out, tag in, tag out)
• Emergency power off (EPO) cable (optional)
• Terminators (if necessary, due to location on channel).
For your convenience, it is possible to order the bus and tag cables
for the printer through Xerox a purchase-only basis. Contact your
Xerox or Xerox Ltd. sales representative for current pricing and order
information.
