NOTE: Before entering the IP address for the machine, you must know the
computer’s network configuration information. If the computer’s network
configuration is set to DHCP, the wireless network setting should also be
DHCP. Likewise, if the computer’s network configuration is set to Static, the
wireless network setting should also be Static.
If your computer is set to DHCP and you want to use the Static wireless network
setting, you must contact the network administrator to get the static IP address.
– For the DHCP method : If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if
DHCP is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm window. If it shows
Static, click Change TCP/IP to change the assignment method to Receive IP
address automatically (DHCP) .
– For the Static method : If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if
Static is shown in the
Wireless Network Setting Confirm
window. If it shows
DHCP, click Change TCP/IP to enter the IP address and other network
configuration values for the machine.
For example:
