13.2.1 Enable MFP Server’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the MFP Server is with TCP/IP support enabled.
Anyway, you can configure the MFP Server to enable TCP/IP support using
the configuration program.
13.2.2 Setup MFP Server’s IP Address
The MFP Server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by
the network.
You can set up the IP address on the various Unix/Linux systems using any
one of the following methods:
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The MFP Server will use the last two methods to obtain its IP address
automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
13.2.2.1 DHCP
There are many Unix/Linux systems that support DHCP protocol, and the
procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. Please refer
to the manual of Unix/Linux for the way to use different DHCP Server. It is
highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same
network as the MFP Server.
13.2.2.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX/LINUX
system that is accessible by the MFP Server, you can use the BOOTP
protocol to set up the IP address of the MFP Server. We recommend that the
BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the MFP Server. If
you use Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to
rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following
BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system
documentation.
