Preparing for installation
4-6 Installation Planning Guide
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 controller processor.
Token Ring specifications
Users of network client workstations may send print jobs to the
printer using TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or Apple Talk network protocol.
The Token Ring connection to the controller processor must be
compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.
The controller processor has a 4 MB or 16 MB Token Ring Auto
interface (16 MB is preferred).
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)
• Terminators (as necessary, due to location on channel).
For your convenience, you may be able to order the bus and tag
cables through Xerox on a purchase-only basis. Contact your
Xerox sales representative for availability, current pricing, and
order information.
