# Configuring SMB

Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing resources, such as files and printers, with more than one device in a network and used to register the machine as a shared printer on the SMB network.

SMB supports only NetBIOS over TCP/IP and does not support NetBEUI. Configure the IP address before configuring the SMB settings. Setting IP Addresses SMB is enabled only when the optional SD card is installed in the machine.
