This chapter outlines the features and operating environment of the LAN card PR-LN1 and how to
connect it to a network.
PR-LN1 FEATURES
- 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX supported (automatic recognition)
- Popup Status Monitor included
- Quick Setup included for simple configuration
- HTTP included to enable configuration from a Web browser
- Integrated utility AdminManager included as a standard feature
- Integrated client software PR-PortManager included as a standard feature
- E-mail send/receive function included
Additional security features
An IP filter is provided as a security feature for a network printer. The filter checks IP addresses and
limits access to the PR-LN1. More specifically, it inhibits access from a certain range of IP addresses
or only accepts access from a certain range of IP addresses, thereby protecting the printer from
unexpected access attempts.
Equipped with DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) function
This function notifies a DNS server containing a DDNS function of the PR-LN1's IP address.
Therefore, even when PR-LN1 dynamically obtains an IP address from the DHCP server, this IP
address is immediately reflected on the domain name system to prevent inconsistencies between
domain names and the IP address.
Equipped with Popup Status Monitor function
This function, which displays the printer status on the PC screen, keeps the user up to date on the
current printer status.
