Appendix Remote Maintenance by telnet You can view the printer status and configure the Network Interface Board us- ing telnet. Note ❒ You should specify a password so that only the network administrator, or a person having network administrator privileges, can use remote mainte- nance.
Note ❒ If the “Cannot write NVRAM information” message appears, the changes are not saved. Repeat the steps above. ❒ The Network Interface Board is reset automatically when the settings are changed. ❒ When the Network Interface Board is reset, the active print job which has already been sent to the machine will finish printing.

Appendix SNMP The Network Interface Board functions as an SNMP (Simple Network Manage- ment Protocol) agent using the UDP and IPX protocols. Using the SNMP man- ager you can get information about the printer. The default community names are “public” and “admin”. You can get MIB in- formation using these community names.

Message failed to get smtp server ip-address. failed to connect smtp server. timeout. refused connect by smtp server. no smtp server. connection close. failed to connect smtp server. Description and Solutions Failed to get SMTP server IP address. This is caused by the following.
Appendix 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 continuously sent back and forth, possibly causing communications charges to increase.
PostScript Printing from Windows When printing PostScript from Windows, see the PostScript 3 Operating Instruc- tions Supplement provided as a PDF file on the CD-ROM labeled “Operating In- structions”. NetWare Printing Form Feed You should not configure the form feed on NetWare. The form feed is controlled by the printer driver on Windows.
Appendix Using DHCP You can use the printer under a DHCP environment. You can also register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running. Limitation ❒ DHCP cannot be used with IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394). Set a fixed IP address with the control panel, telnet or a Web Browser.
Configuring a WINS Server The printer can be configured to register its NetBIOS name with a WINS server when power is turned on. This enables the NetBIOS name of the printer to be specified from SmartNetMonitor for Admin even under a DHCP environment. This section describes how to configure the WINS server.
Appendix Using telnet A A A A Connect to the remote printer using telnet. B B B B Use the “set” command to make WINS active. msh> set wins on C C C C Specify the IP addresses (primary and secondary) using the following com- mands.
