CHAPTER NINE

TCP/IP Configuration

Assigning TCP/IP Information

Overview


The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have it's own unique
IP address. Use the following information to learn about IP address configuration.

The Print server has a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, however, you can easily change
this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. This can
be done in any of the following ways:

1. Printer control panel
2. DHCP
3. BRAdmin application (for Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP ONLY if

your PC is using the IPX/SPX protocol).

Other ways to CHANGE the IP address once it is already set:

1. HTTP (Web browser)
2. Other SNMP based management utility


These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.

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 router (gateway).
