Page 116 Remote Printer mode In Remote Printer mode, use of a router with a vicarious response function allows the primary server to be installed at the dial-up destination. However, an extra account might be generated when the primary server is down.
Page 117 When there is a primary server at the dial-up destination For local networks with file servers: File server Printer Local network ❏ 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.
