DHCP mode
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several
automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP
server in your network (typically a Unix, Windows
®
2000/XP network)
the Print/Scan server will automatically obtains its IP address from
DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-
compliant dynamic name services.
IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have
selected a BOOT Method of Static, enter the IP address that you
wish to assign to the machine (check with your network manager for
the IP address to use). If you have selected a method other than
Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the
DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine
will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme
of your network. We recommend that you contact your network
manager for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected
on.

If you do not want your Print/Scan server configured via
DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the Boot Method to
Static, this will prevent the Print/Scan server from trying to
obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change
the Boot Method, you can use the front panel or the BRAdmin
application.
