Precautions
Please pay attention to the following when using the network interface board. When configuration is
necessary, follow the appropriate procedures 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
continuously, possibly incurring communications 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 printer instead.
Configuring the router
Filter packets so they do not pass over the dial-up router.
Configuring the printer with NetWare
1. Following the setup method described earlier in this manual, configure the file server.
2. Set the frame type for NetWare environment.
Configuring the printer without NetWare
1. When not printing, the network interface board sends packets over the network. Set
NetWare to "inactive".
• The MAC address of the filtering printer is printed on the printer configuration page. For more
information about printing a configuration page, see "Test Printing".
• For more information about configuring the printer if the router cannot be configured, see the following
instructions.
• For more information about selecting a frame type, see "Ethernet Configuration", Hardware Guide.
• For more information about selecting a protocol, see "Ethernet Configuration", Hardware Guide.
