IP address setup
Before using your network print server in your network, you
must set TCP/IP addresses for the print server. You will need
your printer card’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address. First, check with your network administrator
for the TCP/IP addresses.
N OTE : The MAC address is the hardware serial number of the
network printer card. You can check the address by printing
the Network Printer Configuration Page. For printing the page,
refer to your printer user’s guide.
You can set your print server’s IP address via the following
methods:
• Printer control panel: If your printer has a control panel and
the network configuration menu, you can set the IP address
directly from the printer. Refer to your printer user’s guide.
• SetIP program: Go to the Using SetIP.
• Web Image Monitor SP 5100N: Once you have set an IP
address for your network print server, you can use the
embedded web server in the network printer card to change
the address. Go to next column.
• DHCP: You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) to get an IP address automatically assigned by your
network administrator, if your network system supports this
protocol.
• BOOTP: A network-based server using the BootStrap
protocol (BOOTP) can notify the network printer card of its
assigned IP address each time the printer turns on, if your
network system supports this protocol.
N OTE : To get an IP address from the DHCP or BOOTP server,
the IP assignment method must be set to DHCP or BOOTP.
