2. Preparation 2.10 Configuring the unit to access the LAN You can print documents, scan documents, receive faxes or send faxes using a computer on the LAN. To enable these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the unit. Important: L Consult your network administrator when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. 2.10.1 Setting up automatically with a DHCP server Your situation: - When only one unit is connected to the LAN. If your network administrator manages the network with a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit. 1 After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the computer, connect the power cord. L The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will be set automatically. 2 Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that you want to use it with. See page 22 for details. Note: L You can connect two or more units and assign IP addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we recommend assigning static IP addresses manually for each unit to avoid unnecessary trouble. 2.10.2 Setting up manually Your situation: - When your network administrator does not manage the network with a DHCP server. - When two or more units are connected to the LAN. You need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway manually. 1 {MENU} i {#}{5}{0}{0} DHCP =ENABLED [V^] 2 Press {0} to select "DISABLED" i {SET} 3 Set each item.
