Wireless Network Install Guide_ 4
Setting a wireless network with network cable
Your machine is a network compatible machine. To enable your machine to work with your
network you will need to perform some configuration procedures.
Refer to your network administrator, or the person that set up your wireless network,
for information about your network configuration.
Items to prepare
Ensure you have next items ready.
• Access point
• Networked computer
• Printer Software CD-ROM that provided with your machine
• Wireless network your machine
• Network cable
Setting IP address
Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most
cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a static IP and is often
required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.
• DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for
the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network
Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has
changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the report.
(See "How to print a network configuration report" on page 2.)
• Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your
computer.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this
address for you.
IP setting using SetIP Program (Windows)
This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your machine using its
MAC address to communicate with the machine. A MAC address is the hardware serial
number of the network interface and can be found in the Network Configuration
Report.
For using SetIP program, disable the computer firewall before continuing by performing
the following:
1.
Open Start > All programs > Control Panel.
2. Double click Security Center.
3. Click Windows Firewall.
4. Disable the firewall.
Installing the program
1. Insert the Printer Software CD-ROM provided with your machine. When the driver
CD runs automatically, close that window.
2. Start Windows Explorer and open the X drive. (X represents your CD-ROM drive.)
3. Double-click Application > SetIP.
4. Double-click Setup.exe to install this program.
5. Click OK. If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list.
6. Follow the instructions in the window and complete the installation.
