When there is a primary server at the dial-up destination
For local networks with file servers:
| | File | | Dial-up | | | | | Primary file server |
| | server | | router | | | | | (primary print server) |
| | | | | | | Dial-up | | |

❏When the power is turned on
A dial-up is generated because access is made to a local file server first and then to a primary server. This is not a problem since this dial-up only occurs at startup.
❏When the interface card is not set correctly
A dial-up is generated because access is made to a local file server first and then to a primary server. This dial-up is repeated at intervals of approximately 5 minutes. Make the correct interface card settings to avoid this problem.
❏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
