Precautions; Connecting A Dial Up Router To A Network - Ricoh AP2600N User Manual

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. Because the packet transmission is a specification of Net-
Ware, 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.
Configuring the router
Filter the packets so that they do not pass over the dial up router.
Note
❒ The MAC address of the printer doing the filtering is printed on the printer
configuration page. For more information about printing a configuration
page, see the "Setup Guide" that comes with the printer.
❒ For more information about configuring the printer if the router cannot be
configured, see the instructions below.
Configuring the printer with NetWare
A

Reference
For more information about selecting a frame type, see the "Setup Guide"
that comes with the printer.
Configuring the printer without NetWare
A
While not printing, the Network Interface Board sends packets on the net-
work. Set the NetWare to inactive.
Reference
For more information about selecting a protocol, see the "Setup Guide" that
comes with the printer.
