TCP/IP protocols and functionalities
1
Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow users to gain
access to network connected resources.
The print server used on this KONICA MINOLTA product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol.
TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol
can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows
®
, Windows Server
®
and Macintosh.
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this KONICA MINOLTA product.
Note
• You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser).
See How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 56.
• For information about supported security protocols, see Security protocols on page 79.

By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.
Note
To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.
APIPA
1
If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the control panel of the machine or the BRAdmin software)
or automatically (using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.

The KONICA MINOLTA print server supports the Domain Name System (DNS) client function. This function
allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
NetBIOS name resolution
1
Network Basic Input/Output System name resolution enables you to obtain the IP address of the other device
using its NetBIOS name during the network connection.
