2. If this product’s MAC address is [00:80:92:34:c0:19], your file name is [cfg34c019.txt].

- If you have a lot of PRICOM C-6400W on your network, you create several files using the
[cfgxxxxxx.txt] format in an editor to save time.

- When both a config.txt file and a cfgxxxxxx.txt file exist in USB memory, the second file that
includes the Ethernet address will be the selected file.

4. Saved file
Save to file in the root directory of USB memory.

5. Refer to the section 3-4 page 10-12 for instructions on how to configure the PRICOM

C-6400W.

6. Select [(3)Print Utility Setup] from the User Software CX2, and refer to section 5-8 page

IP filtering

1. Log in to the PRICOM via a web
browser, then go to the "TCP/IP" tab.

2. Enter the necessary parameters at "IP
filter Configuration" in the "TCP/IP"
item. For this case, enable "ALLOW"
at the Filter Mode, then enter

192.168.20.1 and 192.168.20.50 for
both "Start Address" and "End
Address" area respectively.

The PRICOM can define scopes of IP addresses to allow or deny communication. When
setting up for "DENY", communications from the designated IP address scope will be prohibited.
When setting up "ALLOW", communication will be allowed only from the designated IP
addresses. Up to 4 IP address scopes can be registered for the DENY/ALLOW functions. IP
filtering can protect illegal access from unexpected network client users.
