Network Installation
The
network
administrator
for
your
network
can
tell
you
the
type
of
security
your
network
uses,
and
can
help
with
obtaining
the
needed
keys
or
certificates.
Refer
to
“IP
Security
Using
a
Printer
Certificate
(IPSec)”
on
page 64
or
“IP
Security
Using
a
Preshared
Key”
on
page 66
for
the
steps
to
follow.
Network
settings
include
how
the
IP
address
is
assigned,
assigning
address
values,
and
whether
to
use
IP
security.
Choosing How to Assign the Network Address
You
can
use
a
permanent
IP
address
(called
static
IP)
on
any
network.
A
static
IP
address
is
stored
in
the
printer
and
is
entered
at
the
PC.
The
advantage
of
using
a
static
IP
address
is
that
the
printer
address
does
not
change.
To
use
DHCP,
the
network
connecting
the
printer
and
PC
must
support
DHCP
(Dynamic
Host
Configuration
Protocol)
and
DNS
(Domain
Name
System).
DHCP
uses
a
printer
name
that
does
not
change,
such
as
PRINTER01,
combined
with
an
IP
address
that
can
change.
The
DHCP
server
keeps
track
of
the
network
printer
name
and
the
current
IP
address
for
the
printer.
The
printer
is
identified
on
the
PC
by
its
network
printer
name.
If
you
use
Static
IP
addressing,
ask
your
network
administrator
for
the
values
to
use.
You
can
set
the
IP
address
using
the
Printer
Select
tab
of
the
Status
Monitor.
Refer
to
“Using
the
Status
Monitor”
in
the
User’s
Guide
to
set
the
network
printer
name
using
the
Status
Monitor.
IP Security Using a Printer Certificate (IPSec)
To
set
up
IPSec
security
using
a
printer
certificate,
you
need
to
obtain
certificates
from
a
certificate
authority
for
the
printer
and
for
each
PC
that
will
to
it.
The
certificates
must
be
available
before
setting
up
IPSec.
For
more
information
about
IPSec
security,
search
Windows
help
for
“IPSEC.”
Tips
for
Success
Each
PC
that
uses
the
printer
must
have
a
certificate
installed
to
use
the
printer
after
IPSec
security
has
been
set
up.
If
the
network
already
uses
certificates,
the
PC
is
likely
to
have
its
certificate
installed.
The
diagram
below
shows
the
PC’s
certificate,
but
the
procedure
does
not
describe
it.
The
printer
certificate
must
be
requested
once
for
each
printer.
It
must
be
an
exportable
key,
and
needs
to
be
downloaded
only
once.
The
IPSec
Mode
and
IPSec
Type
values
displayed
on
the
printer
LCD
panel
are
read
‐
only
settings.
