Precautions
Please pay attention to the following when using the network interface module.
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 charg-
es. 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.
Note
❒ The MAC address of the filtering printer is printed on the printer configu-
ration page. For more information about printing a configuration page, see
“List/Test Print”, Printer Reference.
❒ For more information about configuring the printer if the router cannot be
configured, see the following instructions.
Configuring the printer with NetWare
A Following the setup method described earlier in this manual, configure the
file server.
B Set the frame type for NetWare environment.
Reference
For more information about selecting a frame type, see p.5 “"Network en-
vironment" describes a situation where the printer is connected to a com-
puter via wireless LAN.”.
Configuring the printer without NetWare
A When not printing, the network interface module sends packets over the
network. Set NetWare to “inactive”.
Reference
For more information about selecting a protocol, see p.5 “"Network envi-
ronment" describes a situation where the printer is connected to a compu-
ter via wireless LAN.”.
