HP 3100C - Manual (Page 28)

Configuration menu parameters 27
Network Menu
IP Configuration To specify how the digital sender network interface card
obtains its TCP/IP configuration. Choices:
● MANUAL. From the control panel.
● BOOTP (Boot Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Automatically from the network (the IP Address, IP Subnet Mask, and IP
Gateway parameters are ignored). A corresponding server must be running
and properly configured. The next time you open the configuration menu,
you see the values that the network interface card automatically
discovered. See
“Assigning an IP address to the digital sender” on page 17
for details.
Two things happen if you configured the IP address using
BOOTP or DHCP and later change the IP address at the
control panel: (1) the IP address that was assigned is released
and (2) the setting for this parameter changes to MANUAL.
Changing this value causes the digital sender to shut down
and restart.
IP Address Unique TCP/IP network address of the HP JetDirect print
server (network interface card) in the digital sender. Required
for the digital sender to work.
C LEAR sets the address to 0.0.0.0.
Changing this value causes the digital sender to shut down
and restart.
IP Subnet Mask The filter used to identify the subnet of the network interface
card in the digital sender.
C LEAR sets the address to 0.0.0.0.
Changing this value causes the digital sender to shut down
and restart.
IP Gateway IP address of the gateway server used to send packets off the
local network.
C LEAR sets the address to 0.0.0.0.
Changing this value causes the digital sender to shut down
and restart.
DNS Server
Address IP address of the DNS server. Used for DNS (Domain Name
System) symbolic name resolution if you identify servers and
devices on your network by network name instead of by IP
address.
C LEAR sets the address to 0.0.0.0.
If left blank or set to 0.0.0.0, the function is disabled.
DNS Domain If DNS name resolution is used, the IP address of the domain
for the DNS server. Up to 256 characters are allowed.
If left blank, the function is disabled.
