Wireless-G PrintServer

IP Address

Obtain an IP Address Automatically

If your router is

using DHCP to automatically assign IP addresses, keep the
default, Obtain an IP Address Automatically.

Use the Following IP Address

If you need to assign

the PrintServer a fixed IP address (also known as static IP
address), select Use the Following IP Address, and enter
the appropriate values in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and

Gateway fields.

Make sure the IP Address and Subnet Mask are appropriate
for your 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.

In most cases, the Gateway IP address is the IP address
of your router, and you should complete the Gateway
field if you will use the PrintServer for Internet printing.
(To find out your router’s IP address, refer to your router’s
documentation.)

Set how long,

in seconds, you want the PrintServer to wait between
attempts.

of times that the PrintServer will attempt to connect to
the network.

The Protocol Tab > SNMP

Use this screen to view or change the PrintServer’s SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) settings.

The PrintServer supports SNMP, which allows network
administrators to monitor and control the PrintServer
through the use of network management platforms, such
as HP OpenView.

The appropriate MIB file must be imported into your
SNMP management program using the Import-Compile
command. Check your program’s documentation for
details on this procedure. The MIB file is named Mib2p.mib
and is provided in the MiB folder on the Setup CD-ROM.
