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
the status sheet; you need the information to configure the card.
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:
