Printing a Status Sheet

You can print a status sheet after you finish initializing the card.

Turn on the printer and press the status sheet button. The status

sheet gives you information about the Ethernet card including the

current configuration, serial number, and address of the card. Keep

Using the Ethernet Card With NetWare on a WAN

If you use the Ethernet card in a NetWare environment over a WAN

(Wide Area Network) and connect it to a general phone line

(including ISDN), the card may open the dial-up-router and packets

may be sent to the WAN. To avoid this problem and possible phone

fees, mask the vendor code in the dial-up-router as shown below:

Vendor code

For details on how to mask the vendor code, ask your network

administrator or see your NetWare documentation.
