3-4. Assigning an IP Address to the Server

3-4-1. Preliminary

If you have a DHCP server on your network, your Server will receive an IP address automatically. The

IP address will then appear on the Control Center or on the page of configuration report. If your DHCP

server does not give an IP address to the Server, the Server will use the Factory IP address.

If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to manually set the Server’s IP address.

Ethernet Address

You do not need to know the Ethernet address of your Server for assigning an IP address to it. The Control

Center can automatically search Servers and list their Ethernet addresses.

IP Address

Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an unused IP address from your

network administrator.

Methods for Setting the IP Address

You can set the IP address of your Server using one of the following methods, depending on your network

operating environment:

Automatic IP Address Assignment

Manual IP Address Assignment

Server Names and Server Name Rules

The default server name of the Server is “WLAN PrintServe/LAN PrintServer”. If you put two or more Servers

in your local area network, to avoid using the same server names you have to change the server names by

using the Control Center or the Server’s web pages. If your server name is longer than 15 characters, the

Server uses only the first 15 characters.
