TCP/IP Configuration Fields
DHCP Client
This field allows you to enable or disable the print server's ability to get its IP address from a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. When disabled, you can provide a fixed IP address in the
following fields. If DHCP client is enabled, the fields that follow are not used.
IP Address
This IP address is assigned to the print server. If you have a private LAN and do not plan to connect to
the TCP/IP based internet, NETGEAR recommends that you use the address from the IETF-designated
private addresses (for example, 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x).
Subnet Mask This subnet mask defines the range of addresses that are reachable on your local LAN. For example, in
a network with a NETGEAR router, the default subnet mask is usually 255.255.255.0.
Gateway
Address
This is the IP address of the router on your network. For example, in a network with a NETGEAR router,
the gateway address is usually 192.168.0.1.
