When The Local Network Has A Primary Server - Epson C823642 - Enet Print Server Type B Multi Protocol 10/100BTX Administrator's Manual

When the file server on the local network is down
NetWare cannot be used on the local network without a file
server. In this case, the NetWare protocol that the Ethernet card
uses is unavailable. The computer does not dial out under this
condition. When the file server on the local network is restored,
the Ethernet card is also automatically restored.

When the local network has a primary server

Even if a primary server is installed on the local network, the
computer may unnecessarily dial out depending on the
configuration.
The following problems are common to the both Print Server mode
and Remote Printer mode.
When the power is turned on
Since access is made only to the primary server, the computer
does not dial out.
When the Ethernet card is not set up correctly
Since access is made only to the primary server, the computer
does not dial out. However, if the file server/print server of the
remote network is erroneously set as the primary server, the
computer may dial out. Correct the setting error to avoid this
problem.
