Manuals on the CD-ROM
Your
CrownNet Systems Administrator Guide
,
CrownNet Setup
Guide, Network Print Monitor Administrator’s Guide, and Network
Print Monitor for Windows 95 Administrator’s Guide
are included on
the CD-ROM in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. The Acrobat Reader pro-
gram is also on the CD-ROM. The CD-ROM insert provides installa-
tion instructions.
When you use Acrobat to view your manuals, keep the following tips
in mind for using some of the navigation features built into Acrobat
and your manuals.
n You may view the document in three different styles: page only,
with bookmarks, or with thumbnails. Try each to see which you
like best. Viewing with bookmarks will enable you to use a quick
table of contents to move around the document.
n The toolbar also gives you quick access to page navigation fea-
tures. For example, you may click a button to advance (>) or
reverse (<) one page, go to the start (|<) or end (>|) of the docu-
ment, or use the history button (<<) to go to the previous pages
you viewed. There are other buttons in the toolbar to change view
or magnification of the document.
n As you browse through the document the open hand tool will
sometimes turn into a pointing hand. You have discovered an
embedded link in the manual. You will find these links in the table
of contents, index, www addresses, and cross references. Click
on the link to jump to a new location.
n Use the Acrobat Reader online help for a more complete expla-
nation of these features.
Using the Acrobat Reader with your Manuals
Your manuals are stored in PDF format on the
QMS Software Utilities
CD-ROM. Use the Adobe Acrobat Reader, also included on the CD-
ROM, to open them. PDF-formatted manuals give you more flexibility
QMS Product
Registration
QMS CrownNet Setup Guide8
and convenience than do hardcopy manuals when you have to
access needed information. Heres a list of some of the advantages of
PDF formatted manuals:
n Ability to store the PDF manuals in a central location for access
by anyone on the network
n Ability to view and print the manuals on any of the supported plat-
forms (Windows, Macintosh, UNIX)
n Ability to view the manuals on-screen in different formats (side-
by-side or two-up, one page at a time, scrolling two-up, article
flow, and zooming capability up to 800%)
n Ability to conduct full text search built into Acrobat Reader 3.0
n Ability to print only the pages that you need
n Ability to view the manuals on web browsers using the Acrobat
plug-in
In addition, your PDF-formatted manuals have been enhanced for on-
screen viewing and navigation. Throughout each manual are numer-
ous hotlinks to cross-reference points. The table of contents and the
index are fully hotlinked to their respective page references.
We hope you enjoy using the Acrobat software to access the informa-
tion in your QMS CrownNet user manuals. Your PDF-formatted man-
uals will never become dog-eared and yellowed or collect dust on
some forgotten shelf. Your manuals will empower you to take full
advantage of all the capabilities of your CrownNet interface

Connection
QMS CrownNet Setup Guide12
Network Connection
The method you use to connect your printer to the network depends
on whether you’re connecting to an Ethernet network (described
below) or a Token-Ring network (described on page 15).
Ethernet Network Connection
n For thin-wire Ethernet (10Base2, BNC connector) see the next
section.
n For thick-wire Ethernet (10Base5, AUI connector)—not available
for some printers—see page 13.
n For twisted-pair Ethernet (10BaseT/100BaseTX, RJ45 connec-
tor) see page 14.
Thin-Wire Ethernet Connection
Thin-wire Ethernet connections use BNC connectors.
Caution:
Unless the BNC “T” connector is already installed on the
thin-wire Ethernet cable, your network’s operation is disrupted during
the connection process.
1 Turn off the printer, and unplug the power cord.
2 If the BNC “T” connector is already installed, go to step 3.
Otherwise, attach one section of thin-wire Ethernet cable to
one end of the BNC “T” connector.

3 Attach another section of thin-wire Ethernet cable or a
50 ohm terminator to the other end of the BNC “T” connec-
tor.
4 Attach the BNC “T” connector to the BNC port on the Crown-
Net interface.
5 Plug in the printer, and turn it on.
6 Go to “Software Installation” on page 17.
Thick-Wire Ethernet Connection
Thick-wire Ethernet connections use AUI connectors.
1 Turn off the printer, and unplug the power cord.
2 Plug the transceiver through the retainer into the AUI port on
the CrownNet interface.
n If you’re using a transceiver with an integrated AUI cable,
tighten the retainer screws.
n If you’re using a transceiver without an AUI cable, attach the
AUI connector to the transceiver.
3 Plug in the printer, and turn it on.
4 Go to “Software Installation” on page 17.

Twisted-Pair Ethernet Connection
Twisted-pair Ethernet connections use RJ45 connectors.
1 Turn off the printer, and unplug the power cord.
2 Connect one end of the twisted-pair Ethernet cable to the
RJ45 port on the CrownNet interface.
3 Connect the other end of the cable to the 10BaseT/
100BaseTX concentrator.
4 Plug in the printer, and turn it on.

Token-Ring Network Connection
Token-Ring connections support both Type 1 (shielded twisted-pair—
IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter cable or the equivalent) or Type 3
(unshielded twisted-pair) cables.
Caution:
While Type 3 unshielded twisted-pair Token-Ring cables
can be used on Ethernet networks, unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet
cables may not be compatible with Token-Ring networks. Check the
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) TIA 568B specification for
more information.
Caution:
Before continuing with this procedure, make sure you know
the network’s ring speed. If the printer is set to the wrong network ring
speed, network operation will be disrupted.
1 Turn off the printer, and unplug the power cord.
2 Connect the network adapter cable to the appropriate Token-
Ring port on the CrownNet interface.
3 Plug in the printer.
4 Configure, if necessary, the interface.
For 16 Megabit Networks (default setting)
a Connect the printer to the network with the network adapter
cable.
b Turn on the printer.
For 4 Megabit Networks
a Turn on the printer.

CrownNet/Common/Ring Speed menu (where
xxxxxxxx
is
either Resident or Optional).
» Note:
For complete information on using the control panel,
see your printer documentation.
d Select 4 Mbits/Sec as the network speed.
Caution:
Leave the printer disconnected from the network if
you are changing the ring speed.
e Use the Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx
NIC/
CrownNet/Common/Soft Reset menu to reset the CrownNet
interface (where
xxxxxxxx
is either Resident or Optional).
f Connect the printer to the network with the network adapter
cable.
5 The default source routing type (Auto—Send the file as the
most appropriate frame type) is fine for most Token-Ring net-
works.
However, if your network uses a different type of source routing,
identify that now in the Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx
NIC/CrownNet/Common/Source Routing menu (where
xxxxxxxx
is either Resident or Optional). Other choices are
n All—Send as an all-routes-explorer frame, also known as an
all-routes-broadcast frame.
n Off—Send without source routing information.
n Single—Send as a spanning-tree-explorer frame, also
known as a single-route-broadcast frame.

printer.
8 Extract the files from the CD-ROM:
For example:
tar xvf /cdrom/plaform/unix/crnadm/aix/
aix.tar
This creates a crnadm directory containing CrownAdmin 3.
» Note:
See the main readme file on the CD-ROM for the exact
location of this file.
9 Unmount the CD-ROM file system:
umount
device_filename
For
device_filename
, substitute the complete pathname of the
device file associated with the CD-ROM drive.
10 Add the name of the directory containing crnadm (the direc-
tory in which you extracted the aix.tar file) to your path.
11 Install the UNIX Host Software, following the instructions in
“Installing the UNIX Host Software” on page 30.
