Printing a Status Sheet

You can print a status sheet after you finish initializing the card. Turn on the printer and press the status sheet button. The status sheet gives you information about the Ethernet card including the current configuration, serial number, and address of the card. Keep the status sheet; you need the information to configure the card.

Using the Ethernet Card With NetWare on a WAN

If you use the Ethernet card in a NetWare environment over a WAN (Wide Area Network) and connect it to a general phone line (including ISDN), the card may open the dial-up-router and packets may be sent to the WAN. To avoid this problem and possible phone fees, mask the vendor code in the dial-up-router as shown below:

Vendor code

For details on how to mask the vendor code, ask your network administrator or see your NetWare documentation.
