Connectivity requirements
A Token Ring network or an Ethernet local area network running
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.
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 MII (for UltraSPARC) Coax
Ethernet is enabled with an adapter cable.
The Ethernet interface on the printer controller processor is a 10Mb/
sec twisted pair standard (10BaseT and 100BaseT). Attachment Unit
Interface (AUI) 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 IEEE 802.3
standard. The printer controller processor has a 4 MB / 16 MB Token
Ring Auto interface (16 MB is preferred).
