Chapter 8. Collecting required information To configure your InfoPrint Manager environment properly, you need to collect configuration information for each of the environment's individual components. Several worksheets are provided to make collecting this information easier. Planning for a LAN connection First, connect your Windows systems to your local area network (LAN). You can perform this task when you install Windows or after you finish the installation. In either case, you might find it useful to complete this worksheet ahead of time for each system that is new to your LAN. Table 2. LAN TCP/IP configuration worksheet Control Panel Prompt Description Value Computer Name The (NetBIOS) name of this computer on the Windows network. Domain/Workgroup The group of Windows computers that this computer belongs to. Adapter The physical card used to connect this system to the network. An appropriate driver for this card might need to be added. Obtain IP address from DHCP server? The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a new IP address for this system each time it is restarted. If DHCP is not in use, a static IP address must be assigned. __ yes __ no Note: It is strongly recommended that you specify no for DHCP. IP Address A dotted-decimal address (for example, 9.99.178.17) statically assigned to this system. Not needed if DHCP is in use. Subnet Mask A dotted-decimal number (for example, 255.255.255.0) indicating which part of the IP address identifies the network and which part identifies the system. Not needed if DHCP is in use. Default Gateway The system used by default to allow this network to communicate with other networks. Not needed if DHCP is in use. © Copyright InfoPrint Solutions Company 2000, 2009 39

Chapter 8. Collecting required information
To configure your InfoPrint Manager environment properly, you need to collect
configuration information for each of the environment’s individual components.
Several worksheets are provided to make collecting this information easier.
Planning for a LAN connection
First, connect your Windows systems to your local area network (LAN). You can
perform this task when you install Windows or after you finish the installation. In
either case, you might find it useful to complete this worksheet ahead of time for
each system that is new to your LAN.

The (NetBIOS) name of this
computer on the Windows
network.
Domain/Workgroup
The group of Windows
computers that this computer
belongs to.
Adapter

connect this system to the
network. An appropriate
driver for this card might
need to be added.
Obtain IP address from DHCP

assigned to this system. Not
needed if DHCP is in use.
Subnet Mask
A dotted-decimal number (for
example, 255.255.255.0)
indicating which part of the IP
address identifies the network
and which part identifies the
system. Not needed if DHCP
is in use.
Default Gateway
The system used by default to
allow this network to
communicate with other
networks. Not needed if
DHCP is in use.
