Overview

This document provides the procedures for installing and configuring the LANC PCI Fast Ethernet adapter for Brisque and CreoScitex Ripro Server or CreoScitex Ripro Archiver workstations.

After installing and configuring this adapter, the network infrastructure for SciNet connectivity between the Brisque or CreoScitex Ripro Server or CreoScitex Ripro Archiver workstations and other CreoScitex workstations (Whisper, PS/2 and Mac) will now exist. This infrastructure will allow connectivity using the Scitex Program to Program protocol (PTOP).

Each station must have an appropriate LANC adapter installed.

The LANC PCI adapter installed on the Brisque or Server/Archiver has two ports:

• 10BaseT (Standard Ethernet).
• 100BaseT (Fast Ethernet).

Hardware Requirements

• Brisque or CreoScitex Ripro Server or CreoScitex Ripro Archiver workstation.
• LANC PCI FE adapter.

Software Requirements

Networking Requirements

LANC PCI supports the following networks:

• 10BaseT with twisted pair Ethernet cables above cat 3, 4 and 5.
• 100BaseT with twisted pair Fast Ethernet cables above cat 5.

If the Switching Hub is configured as FullDuplex, it must be reconfigured to HalfDuplex mode.
