GL-1020 Administrator’s Guide 149
PEER TO PEER PRINTING
Considerations and Limitations
n You cannot assign the GL-1020 to a Microsoft Domain; it can
participate only in a Microsoft Workgroup.
n The GL-1020 device name must be unique within the
network. The device name is also required in order to update
the controller software using TopAccess.
Prerequisites
n Determine a unique device name (also known as the host
name or Microsoft Computer name) for the GL-1020. By
default, the device name is
GL<MAC Address>, where
<MAC Address> is the media access control (MAC) number
of the NIC installed in the GL-1020. You can change the
device name, providing it is unique within the network.
n Pick a workgroup name for the device or accept the default
name,
WORKGROUP.
