B
Configuring your printer for a network
B
IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways
B
To use the printer in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its IP address and subnet mask.
The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers.
If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.
IP address
B
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An IP address
consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
•
192.168.1.1
•
192.168.1.2
•
192.168.1.3
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
B
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server on your network the print server will automatically obtain its IP
address from that server.
Note
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the router.
For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see:
Using DHCP to configure the IP address
uu
page 29.
Using BOOTP to configure the IP address
uu
page 30.
Using RARP to configure the IP address
uu
page 29.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will
automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on
APIPA, see
