SMB/CIFS Network Setup Procedures

To use an SMB/CIFS network, it is necessary to perform the following procedures.

1 Protocol Settings

Specify the protocol settings. To specify the settings, use:

The machine's control panel

The Remote UI (via a web browser)

2 Setting Up a Computer for Printing/Sending a Fax

Specify the settings of each computer you use for printing or sending a fax. (Optional equipment may be required for printing from computers and sending faxes, depending on the model of your machine. For the equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Requirements.")

3 Setting Up a Computer as a File Server

Specify the settings of the computer receiving data sent from the machine.

IMPORTANT
It is recommended that steps 1 and 3 above be performed by the network administrator. The only base protocols supported by the machine for SMB/CIFS networks are TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6. NetBEUI is not supported (SMB is used as a print application).
