TCP/IP Configuration Fields
DHCP Client
This field allows you to enable or disable the print server's ability to get its IP address from a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. When disabled, you can provide a fixed IP address in the
following fields. If DHCP client is enabled, the fields that follow are not used.
IP Address
This IP address is assigned to the print server. If you have a private LAN and do not plan to connect to
the TCP/IP based internet, NETGEAR recommends that you use the address from the IETF-designated
private addresses (for example, 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x).
