- If SSDP = Active (Web ImageMonitor > Configuration > Network
Security), a high load on the CPU might result in Web ImageMonitor
locking up.
- LP with an external controller will lose network connectivity. This
only occurred if the network settings were changed repeatedly and
the LP's "NetWare" setting was already "Active" (before the network
settings were changed).
- The LP icon might not be shown in the Windows "Network" dialogue
if SSDP is enabled. This affected Windows Vista, 2008/R2, and 7.
- The device might lose network connectivity if SSDP is enabled.
Network connectivity could be temporarily restored after a power
cycle.
