4-2 TCP/IP Network Configuration

mandatory configuration in the print server is the entering of
an IP address (TROY XCD print servers come with a default
IP address of 192.0.0.192 (192.189.207.254 on some models)
but this should be changed to meet the addressing
requirements of your network).

TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration

The configuration process for most UNIX systems is
described in the following steps. Unfortunately, this process
is not very standardized, so refer to your system documenta-
tion (or man pages) for additional information.

1. Configure the

/etc/hosts

file (or equivalent local

host table) on each UNIX host that needs to communicate
with the TROY XCD print server, or provide similar
information to a name server on the network. Use your
favorite editor to add an entry to the

/etc/hosts

file containing the IP address and node name of the
TROY XCD print server. For example:

192.189.207.3

XCD_00C351

The actual format of the entry may vary depending on
your system, so check your system documentation and
also note the format of other entries in the etc/hosts
file.

Note:

The node name in this file does not necessarily

need to be the same as the one that is actually
configured into the TROY XCD print server (the name
that appears on the printer self-test), but it is good
practice to make the names the same (however, some
operating systems, such as HP/UX, do not accept the
"_" character in the default name, so for these systems
