Cautions to Take When Using in a Network
Connecting a Dial-up Router to a Network
When the NetWare file server and printer are on opposite sides of a router, packets are sent back and forth,
causing communication charges to be incurred. Because packet transmission is a specification 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 that they do not pass over the dial-up router.
1. Launch the Web browser.
2. In the address bar, enter "http://(printer's IP address or host name)/".
Web browser top page is displayed.
If SSL encryption has been enabled, enter "https://(printer's address or host name)/".
3. Click [Settings].
A dialog box for entering a user name and password appears.
4. Enter your user name and password, and then click [OK].
If this is the first time to do this, enter "admin" as the user name and leave the password blank.
Password " " (blank) is the factory default.
5. If this is the first time to do this, enter "admin" as the user name and leave the password blank.
