CHAPTER 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
1-5
Using DHCP to Configure the IP address
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
®
NT
®
/2000 or Novell Netware network) the
Print / Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and
register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
If you do not want your Print / Fax server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or
RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the Print /
Fax server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To
change the BOOT METHOD, use the FAX/MFC’s front panel, TELNET (using
the SET IP METHOD command), Web browser or by using the BRAdmin
application.
