DHCP mode
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address
allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network (typically a UNIX
®
, Windows
®
2000/XP network) the
print server will automatically obtain its IP address from a DHCP server and register its name with any RFC
1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.
Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT
METHOD to static, this will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these
systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the machine’s control panel or the BRAdmin Professional
utility.
2.IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have selected a BOOT Method of Static, enter
the IP address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP
address to use). If you have selected a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP
address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be
incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your
network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
