your computer, but is simply used to initialize the network connection settings of the 
printer.
For detailed information on the NetSpot Device Installer, refer to the users manual 
included with the network adapter (AXIS 1650).

Appendix

Windows Firewall
Windows Firewall is a feature of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and other operating 
systems that protects your computer by blocking unauthorized access over the 
network.
If using the printer with an operating system equipped with Windows Firewall, you 
need to set Windows Firewall to unblock communications.
You need to perform the following procedure on the print server (the computer that 
is directly connected to the printer) and the clients (the computers that accesses 
the printer via the network).
WARNING
If you want to copy the [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] to your hard disk to run 
it, copy all of the files (CNAB4FW.EXE, CAPTRGFW.DLL, CNAB4FW.INI) from the

your hard disk.
