If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the product directly to your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the product's Internet Protocol (IP) address. PCs and products primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. With TCP/IP protocols, each product and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. For example, your product can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4. Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a networked printer. For Mac OS X products, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, EtherTalk does not require products or computers to have IP addresses. Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically programs an IP address into every PC and product on the network that is configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router's documentation for information on IP addressing.

For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into your product's CD-ROM drive. After the Installer launches, follow the prompts for installation. Note: For the automatic Installer to function, the product must be connected to an established TCP/IP network. Phaser® 8560MFP/8860MFP Multifunction Printer 2-5

TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate
TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the product directly to
your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the product’s
Internet Protocol (IP) address.
PCs and products primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
With TCP/IP protocols, each product and computer must have a unique IP address. It is
important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be
different. For example, your product can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer
has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a
networked printer. For Mac OS X products, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however,
EtherTalk does not require products or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every PC and product on the network that is
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a
cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the product is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use
the installer on the
Software and Documentation CD-ROM
to detect or assign an IP address to
your product. For further instructions, insert the
Software and Documentation CD-ROM
into
your product’s CD-ROM drive. After the Installer launches, follow the prompts for
installation.
Note:
For the automatic Installer to function, the product must be connected to an established
TCP/IP network.
