Enabling the Printer to communicate with the Fiery Network Controller

 

If you want to install a Bustled Fiery on a machine which was originally configured without one, you need to do a few things before the machine will talk to the Fiery.  If you don't do these things, the Fiery button on the machine will not appear or may seem "grayed out" and the words “Extensible Services” will not appear at the bottom of the main App Icon screen as it should.

First... TCPIP settings for the printer/scanner need to be configured as follows:
From the machine's UI (User Interface / Control Panel), login as System Administrator (default username = ‘admin’, default password = ‘1111’, press the "Machine Status" button and then choose the "Tools Tab" on the touchscreen.  In the Group column, look for "Connection & Network Setup" followed by "Protocol Settings" and here are the correct settings: 

  • IP Address Resolution needs to be set to "Static"
  • IP Address has to be: 100.100.100.101
  • Subnet Mask needs to be:  255.255.252.0
  • Gateway has to be:  100.100.100.102

Second... TCPIP settings for the FIERY need to be configured as follows:
Once you reboot the machine, go back into “Machine Status” > “Tools” and this time under the “Group” column, scroll down to the bottom to find “Network Controller Settings”.  Enable all services (except it is not necessary to enable WSD), then go into the “Protocol Settings” and here are the standard settings to use for the Fiery:

  • IP address Resolution set to “Static”
  • IP address : 119.168.0.10
  • Subnet Mask needs to be: 255.255.0
  • Gateway: 168.0.1

Third…  Enable "Extensible Services"
With the Fiery connected (Fiery Cable between ESS on machine and the Fiery… ethernet crossover cable from “Scan” port on Fiery to the Scan port on the machine’s ESS). You then need to connect your laptop to the Fiery with an ethernet crossover cable (plug into the “Net” port). Then use a browser (Chrome, Edge, etc) to browse to the Fiery IP address that you just setup on the previous step. In order to communicate with the Fiery, your laptop's IP address has to be almost the same as the Printer's IP address.  Set the laptop up with IP Address: 119.168.0.15 and make sure the Subnet Mask and Gateway match that of the Fiery (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0,  Gateway: 119.168.0.1).  

Look for a button that says "Xerox® Centreware®" near the bottom right corner of the page (you may need to scroll down to see it).  You will be prompted to login.  The default login name is 'admin' and the default password is '1111'. 

Under "General Setup", select "Extensible Service Setup" followed by "Enable the Extensible Services Browser" and click on "Apply".  Enable any other features you'd like enabled while you're in there.

Now reboot the printer (the Fiery will also reboot).  The Fiery logo should be visible after this AND  on the main blue screen where you see all the App Icons, you will see the words “Extensible Services” in tiny letters at the bottom of the screen.
