Wired TCP/IP / WLAN TCP/IP

If you connect the machine with the Ethernet cable to your network, use the Wired TCP/IP menu selections. 
If you connect the machine to the wireless Ethernet network, use the WLAN TCP/IP menu selections.

This menu has ten sections: Boot Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name, WINS 
Config, WINS Server, DNS Server, APIPA and IPv6.

BOOT Method

This selection controls how the machine obtains the IP address for itself. The default setting is

Auto mode

In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP server 
is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will 
be used. If no DHCP server is available, the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is 
available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a 
BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not 
answer, the machine will use an APIPA address, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 143. 
This whole process can take 2 to 3 minutes so we recommend printing a Network Configuration List to confirm 
the network settings are set correctly.

Static mode

In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to 
the assigned address.
