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 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 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 printer instead.
Configuring the router
Filter packets so they do not pass over the dial-up router.
Configuring the printer with NetWare
1. Following the setup method described earlier in this manual, configure the file server.
2. Set the frame type for NetWare environment.
Configuring the printer without NetWare
1. When not printing, the network interface board sends packets over the network. Set
NetWare to "inactive".
