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 the NetWare file server and the printer are on the opposite side of a router, packets are continu-
ously sent back and forth, possibly causing communication charges to increase. Because the packet
transmission is a specification 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.

Configuring the router

Filter the packets so that they do not pass over the dial-up router.
Note
❒The MAC address of the printer doing the filtering is printed on the printer configuration pag e. For
more information about printing a configuration page, see the Option Setup Guide that co mes with
the printer.
❒For more information about configuring the printer if the router cannot be configure d, see the instruc-
tions below.
