English IP Address Configuration There are many ways to configure the IB-2x IP address parameters. The easiest and most common methods are: via the Quick Setup wizard, via DHCP,and via the printer's front panel. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is often used in conjunction with DHCP and is therefore also covered in this section. The Quick Setup wizard allows easy setup of the IP address and many other parameters. See Using the Quick Setup Wizard earlier in this guide. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Configuration DHCP provides a mechanism for delivering IP configuration parameters, including IP address, subnet mask, etc. to devices (hosts) on an IP network. DHCP alleviates the administrative burden of managing individual IP addresses. A DHCP server processes IB-2x DHCP Discovery broadcasts and returns an IP address to the IB-2x. The DHCP server may be set up to grant an IP address for a limited time (a temporary lease) or for an unlimited time (an unlimited lease), or it may be configured with a permanent address reservation for each IB-2x. IMPORTANT: In a non-WINS environment, it is highly recommended to set up the DHCP server to grant the IB-2x an unlimited lease or permanent address reservation. Unlimited Lease or Address Reservation in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 In Windows NT and 2000, lease duration is set for a particular scope, or group of addresses. Thus, lease duration should be set to Unlimited for the scope to which the IB-2x belongs. If this is not desired, then the IB-2x should be defined as a Reserved Client. A Reserved Client may be added with the Windows DHCP Manager by selecting Scope and then Add Reservations. Enter the IB-2x Ethernet address (do not enter the colons, e.g. 008092a371d8), the IP address and other IP parameters. The Ethernet address may be obtained from the IB-2x Network Status Page. Disabling DHCP If IP address assignment with DHCP is not desired, it may be disabled using the Quick Setup wizard, the printer front panel, a web browser, or several other methods. IMPORTANT: Note, however, that DHCP IS AUTOMATICALLY DISABLED when the IP address is set using any other method such as the Quick Setup wizard, printer front panel, etc. WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) Configuration WINS is used by Windows NT to provide a mechanism for mapping the NetBIOS name, commonly referred to as host name, to an IP address. WINS requires an NT or 2000 server to be configured as a WINS server. WINS enables defining a printing configuration which references the printer by its name rather than by its IP address. Thus, even if the printer IP address is changed via DHCP, the printing configuration will still be valid and printing will continue uninterrupted. Another advantage of WINS is that a new printer may seemlessly replace an old printer simply by, 1) giving the new printer the same host name as the old printer, or 2) modifying the Windows LPR port configuration for the old printer with the host name ofthe new printer. 13

IP Address Configuration
There are many ways to configure the IB-2x IP address parameters. The easiest and most common methods
are: via the Quick Setup wizard, via DHCP,and via the printer’s front panel. The Windows Internet Naming
Service (WINS) is often used in conjunction with DHCP and is therefore also covered in this section.
The Quick Setup wizard allows easy setup of the IP address and many other parameters. See
Using the Quick
Setup Wizard
earlier in this guide.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Configuration
DHCP provides a mechanism for delivering IP configuration parameters, including IP address, subnet
mask, etc. to devices (hosts) on an IP network. DHCP alleviates the administrative burden of
managing individual IP addresses.
A DHCP server processes IB-2x DHCP Discovery broadcasts and returns an IP address to the IB-2x.
The DHCP server may be set up to grant an IP address for a limited time (a temporary lease) or for an
unlimited time (an unlimited lease), or it may be configured with a permanent address reservation for
each IB-2x.
IMPORTANT:
In a non-WINS environment, it is highly recommended to set up the DHCP server to
grant the IB-2x an unlimited lease or permanent address reservation.
Unlimited Lease or Address Reservation in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
In Windows NT and 2000, lease duration is set for a particular scope, or group of addresses. Thus,
lease duration should be set to Unlimited for the scope to which the IB-2x belongs. If this is not
desired, then the IB-2x should be defined as a Reserved Client.
A Reserved Client may be added with the Windows DHCP Manager by selecting
Scope
and then
Add
Reservations
.
Enter the IB-2x Ethernet address (do not enter the colons, e.g. 008092a371d8), the IP
address and other IP parameters. The Ethernet address may be obtained from the IB-2x Network
Status Page.
Disabling DHCP
If IP address assignment with DHCP is not desired, it may be disabled using the Quick Setup wizard,
the printer front panel, a web browser, or several other methods.
IMPORTANT:
Note, however, that DHCP IS AUTOMATICALLY DISABLED when the IP address is
set using any other method such as the Quick Setup wizard, printer front panel, etc.
WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) Configuration
WINS is used by Windows NT to provide a mechanism for mapping the NetBIOS name, commonly
referred to as host name, to an IP address. WINS requires an NT or 2000 server to be configured as a
WINS server.
WINS enables defining a printing configuration which references the printer by its name rather than by
its IP address. Thus, even if the printer IP address is changed via DHCP, the printing configuration will
still be valid and printing will continue uninterrupted. Another advantage of WINS is that a new printer
may seemlessly replace an old printer simply by, 1) giving the new printer the same host name as the
old printer, or 2) modifying the Windows LPR port configuration for the old printer with the host name
ofthe new printer.
