Network Configuration

Firewall Setup

Ensure your firewall allows incoming connections on port 21 (or your configured FTP port). On macOS, you may need to approve SCO SMB in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. On Windows, add an inbound rule for the SCO SMB application.

Static IP Recommendation

For consistent operation, assign a static IP address to your computer or configure a DHCP reservation in your router. This prevents the printer from losing connection if your IP changes.

Enterprise Networks

In enterprise environments, work with your IT department to ensure proper VLAN access between printers and computers running SCO SMB. Enable IP whitelisting in Settings > Security for additional protection.
