Network Guide
❏
During normal operation (standby)
An SPX Watchdog packet is sent according to the NetWare protocol convention. Use a
router with a vicarious response function to avoid a dial-up.
❏
During normal operation (printing)
A dial-up is generated while the printing data is being transferred. This is not a problem
because it is a dial-up specific to the dial-up network.
❏
When the primary server is down during operation
A dial-up is generated because a connection to the primary server is attempted
periodically. Since this is attributable to the automatic re-connection function, turn off
the printer once.
❏
When the file server on the local network is down
When there is no file server on the local network, NetWare cannot be used on the local
network. In this case, the NetWare protocol for the network interface is also not
available. No dial-up is generated under this condition. When the file server on the local
network is restored, the network interface is also automatically restored.
For local networks with no file server:
Depending on the router settings, the NetWare protocol can be used without a file server
on a local network. This setup follows the same pattern as that described above.
