Notify Users
Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing a new one,
you want to limit the inconvenience to users. You should provide advance
notification that walk-up functions and network printing will be disabled
temporarily. We also recommend installing or upgrading your system
during non-peak hours to minimize the impact on network traffic.
Consider Network Protocol Limitations
The following sections outline the various configuration options the
controller supports as well as any limitations you may encounter.
Protocol
TCP/IP
IPX/SPX
AppleTalk
Decide Whether to Use WINS Servers
The controller supports the WINS host name resolution service. Using a
WINS server is optional but has several advantages, especially if you are
using DHCP to dynamically assign IP Addresses (enabled by default):
Users can refer to the device by its name instead of its IP address.
Users do not have to look up the currently assigned IP address every
time they want to access the embedded web server.
It simplifies command line printing for LPR/LPD clients.

Controller-Supported Protocols
Considerations and Limitations
• Required to manage the device using TopAccess.
• Required for LPD printing.
• If you are using DHCP for IP address acquisition, which may assign dif-
ferent IP addresses to the controller, consider setting up WINS servers
for host name resolution.
• TOSHIBA does not support running the controller as a print server in a
Novell environment over IP. However, you can use the controller as a
printer agent if you set up NDPS printing.
• Running the controller as a print server in a Novell environment is sup-
ported only over IPX/SPX. NetWare 5.x and 6.x default to TCP/IP and
must be reset to use IPX/SPX if you want to use the controller in this
way.
• The frame type is set to
for your network, you may want to set the frame type yourself.
• The controller supports all Macintosh computers that use AppleShare,
which includes all workstations running version 6.0.7 (or later) operating
system, except for the Macintosh XL and 128K.
