IP address setup
Before using your network print server in your network, you must set TCP/IP
addresses for the print server. You will need your printer card's MAC address, IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address. First, check with your network
administrator for the TCP/IP addresses.
N
OTE : The MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network printer card.
You can check the address on the Network Printer Card Test Page. For printing a test
page, refer to your printer user's guide.
You can set your print server's IP address via the following methods:
• Printer control panel: If your printer has a control panel and network
configuration menu, you can set the IP address directly from the printer.
Refer to your printer user's guide.
• SetIP program: Go to the next section.
• Web Image Monitor SP 5100N: Once you have set an IP address for your
network print server, you can use the web server embedded in the network
printer card to change the address. Go to page 5.
• DHCP: You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to get an IP
address automatically assigned by your network administrator, if your
network system supports this protocol.
• BOOTP: A network-based server using the BootStrap protocol (BOOTP) can
notify the network printer card of its assigned IP address each time the
printer turns on, if your network system supports this protocol.
N
OTE : To get an IP address from the DHCP or BOOTP server, the IP assignment
method must be set to DHCP or BOOTP.
