Precautions

Please pay attention to the following
when using the network interface
board. When configuration is neces-
sary, follow the appropriate proce-
dures below.

Connecting a Dial-Up Router
to a Network

When using NetWare (file server)

If the NetWare file server and printer
are on opposite sides of a router,
packets are sent back and forth con-
tinuously, possibly incurring com-
munications charges. Because packet
transmission is a feature of NetWare,
you need to change the configuration
of the router. If the network you are
using does not allow you to configure
the router, configure the machine in-
stead.

Configuring the router

Filter packets so they do not pass
over the dial-up router.

Note

❒ The MAC address of the filter-

ing printer is printed on the
printer configuration page. For
more information about print-
ing a configuration page, see
Printer Reference 2.

❒ For more information about

configuring the printer if the
router cannot be configured, see
the following instructions.

Configuring the printer with

Reference

For more information about se-
lecting a frame type, see p.15

Configuring the printer without
NetWare

AAAA

When not printing, the network
interface board sends packets
over the network. Set NetWare to
