Precautions; Connecting A Dial-Up Router To A Network - Ricoh Priport DX 4640PD Network Manual

Appendix

Precautions

Please pay attention to the following when using the network interface module.
When configuration is necessary, 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 continuously, possibly incurring communications charg-
es. 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 printer instead.
❖ Configuring the router
Filter packets so they do not pass over the dial-up router.
Note
❒ The MAC address of the filtering printer is printed on the printer configu-
ration page. For details about printing a configuration page, see "List/Test
Print", Printer Reference.
❒ For details about configuring the printer if the router cannot be configured,
see the following instructions.
Configuring the printer with NetWare
A
9 Following the setup method described earlier in this manual, configure the
file server.
B
Set the frame type for NetWare environment.
Reference
For details about selecting a frame type, see p.7 "Setting Up the Machine
on a Network".
Configuring the printer without NetWare
A
When not printing, the network interface module sends packets over the
network. Set NetWare to "inactive".
Reference
For details about selecting a protocol, see p.7 "Setting Up the Machine on
a Network".
