your customer’s company. The customer network administrator
assigns IP address numbers within this set to each host and
workstation on the network.
Subnets: A “YES” answer to this query indicates that your
customer’s network is divided into segments or “subnets.” In this
instance the following data element, subnet mask, must also be
provided.
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask is a decimal or hexadecimal
group of four fields, each separated by a decimal point that
indicates how much of the IP Address is used with the Network
number to create subnets. The following is an example of a
subnet mask in its decimal and hexadecimal form.
255.255.0.0 = 0xff.0xff.0x0.0x0
The subnet mask is derived by the network administrator
according to how many subnets are needed. The subnet mask
is the same for all hosts that exist on a given network. Your
customer’s network administrator can provide this information.
Ipv6: Internet protocol version 6. FreeFlow Print Server is not
using this version of the Internet protocol at this time. Do not
select this option.
Default Router lP address: The default router IP address is a
unique 4 byte, 32 bit numeric value, for example, 13.252.12.198
that identifies the machine that is acting as the main router. The
router maintains tables of addresses of many networks in order
to forward data packets between these networks. During install,
the service representative creates a default router file on the
print server, if one does not already exist, and this number is
added to a line in the new file. Your customer’s network
administrator should provide this number.
NOTE: If another machine is not identified as the default router,
the print server will automatically take over the main router
function. This may noticeably slow down processing on the
network.
Kerberos Security: Kerberos security is a network
authentication protocol that is provided with the Solaris
environment. FreeFlow Print Server does not currently support
this protocol.
Name Service: DNS, NIS, NIS+, and LDAP are network
information services that hold user information. None indicates
that the user information is held locally. Additional information
for each of these services should be entered in the appropriate
table in W-6. The network services are enabled and configured
using the FreeFlow Print Server Network Configuration screens.
NOTE: In order to load and enable Remote Services, DNS must
be the Name Service type.
Geographic Region: Enter your customer’s geographical
country or region. The selections available are Africa, Western
