Important: Without setting up the wireless functionality with an Instant
Wireless™ Network PC Card, the PrintServer will only function through
your 10/100 Ethernet network. After connecting and configuring an
Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card, the PrintServer will be able to take
advantage of wireless functionality.

Click the TCP/IP tab to view or change the TCP/IP values of the PrintServer.
If you are using DHCP to assign IP addresses, select DHCP Client. By default,
DHCP is enabled. If you need to assign the PrintServer a Fixed IP Address
(also known as Static IP Address), select this option, and enter the appropriate
values under Device IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address. To
find your router’s IP address, consult your router’s documentation. The Device
IP Address and Subnet Mask are the same as those of any PC connected to the
network. If you change the PrintServer’s IP address, make sure you that you
reconnect to the PrintServer using that new IP address. Otherwise, you will not
be communicating with the PrintServer. The Gateway IP Address is not neces-
sary for using the PrintServer.

Under the Connection settings, you can set how long you want the PrintServer
to delay between attempting connections to the network. You can also specify
the number of times that the PrintServer will attempt to make a connection.
Enter your chosen values in the fields provided.

If you want to reset the settings for this screen, you can click the Retrieve
Defaults
button to return to the factory default settings.

If you make any mistakes prior to saving, you can simply hit the Cancel but-
ton to exit the screen without making any changes.

Once you are certain of any changes you have made, click the Save button to
implement the changes.
