Appendix 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.
Appendix ❖ When static IP addresses are set for each interface • IP address: When set at the same value, the Ethernet interface is preferred. • Subnet mask: When a value overlaps, the Ethernet interface is preferred. • Gateway address: The value set is used. For the gateway address, set the gateway address located in the subnetwork set by the interface. If the value is outside the subnet range set by the interface, it operates as “0.0.0.0”.
Appendix ❒ The IP address acquired from DHCP can be checked on the configuration page. For information about printing a configuration page, see p.141 “Printing a Configuration Page”. ❒ When using WINS server, set the WINS server as shown on p.292 “Configuring the WINS Server”. ❒ Under the WINS server, host names can be used for remote network printer ports. ❒ If you are not using the WINS server, reserve the printer's IP address in the DHCP server so the same IP address is assigned every time.
Appendix ❒ The WINS server is supported with Windows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 4 or higher, and Windows 2000 Servers WINS Manager. ❒ For details about the WINS server settings, see Windows Help. ❒ If there is no reply from the WINS server, the NetBIOS name is registered by broadcast. ❒ The NetBIOS name can be entered using up to 13 alphanumeric characters.

Appendix Using the Dynamic DNS Function Dynamic DNS is a function which dynamically updates (registers and deletes) records (A record and PTR record) managed by the DNS server. When a DNS server is part of the network environment to which this printer, a DNS client, is connected, records can be dynamically updated using this function. Updating Updating procedure varies depending on whether the printer IP address is static or acquired by DHCP.
Appendix • IEEE 1394 RNPXXXXXXXXXX (XXXXXXXXXX represents the lower 3-7 bytes of the MAC Address in hexadecimal) ❒ Dynamic update using message authentication (TSIG, SIG(0)) is not supported.
