Ethernet support is built into the Fiery X2-CP motherboard, providing connectivity to Ethernet networks. Supported Ethernet cabling includes: thinnet, thicknet, and twisted pair for 10BaseT and/or 100BaseT.
note:
Though the Fiery X2-CP motherboard has two Ethernet network ports, only oneEthernet connection can be made to the Fiery X2-CP at a time.
The network ports on the motherboard are:
-
AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) port for a thin Ethernet cable (thinnet) or a thick Ethernet cable (thicknet)
-
RJ-45 port for 10/100BaseT twisted pair. For network configuration information, see the Administrator Guide.
To connect a twisted pair cable to the Fiery X2-CP:
-
Power off the Fiery X2-CP before connecting it to any network device.
-
Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 port on the back of the Fiery X2-CP.
-
Configure Setup options.
-
After configuring Setup options, verify the network connection.
-
Once the network connection has been made and the Fiery X2-CP has the correct Setup configuration and has reached the idle state, the Fiery X2-CP should be available on the network.
-
After you have verified the network connection, perform any additional network Setup, verify that the Fiery X2-CP appears in the list of printers, and print a few test documents from a networked computer that will use the Fiery X2-CP. (See the Administrator Guidefor more information.)
