OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User’s Guide

DLC/802.2 Protocol Stack

The DLC/802.2 protocol stack must be loaded and
running on the file server from which the OKI Network
Printer Redirector will run. With LAN Manager, this
means you must enable the remote boot facility. With
LAN Server, you must select the 802.2 protocol when
you run the installation utility. See your LAN Manager/
LAN Server documentation for more information.

Routers

The 802.2 Type I network protocol used by the OKI
Network Printer Redirector cannot be routed by routers
which operate on specific protocols at the network
layer. See your router documentation for more
information.
