Precautions

Please pay attention to the following when using the network interface board. When configuration is neces- sary, 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 con- tinuously, 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 machine in- stead.

Configuring the router

Filter packets so they do not pass over the dial-up router.

Note

The MAC address of the filter- ing printer is printed on the printer configuration page. For more information about print- ing a configuration page, see Printer Reference.

For more information about configuring the printer if the router cannot be configured, see the following instructions.
