Network
Network Menu on the Dell Control Panel
The control panel's
Network
menu selections allow you to configure the Dell machine for your network.
Note that your Dell machine includes the Web Based Management, which you can use to configure many aspects of
the network.
TCP/IP
If you connect the machine to your network with a network cable, use the
Wired LAN
menu selections. If you
connect the machine to a wireless Ethernet network, use the
WLAN
menu selections.
Boot Method
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address.
Auto
In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server. If it can find one, and if the DHCP server
is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will be
used.
If no DHCP server is available, the IP Address is set using the APIPA protocol. After the machine is initially
powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.
Static
In this mode, the machine's IP address must be manually assigned. When the IP address is entered, it is locked to
the assigned address.
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, you must set the BOOT Method
to Static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an
IP address from any of these systems.
To change the BOOT Method, use the machine's control panel, or Web Based Management.
IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have selected a BOOT Method of Static, type the IP
address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator 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,
BOOTP, or RARP protocols.
The default IP address of your machine will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of
your network. We recommend contacting your network administrator for an IP address that is compatible with the
network to which your machine is connected.
Subnet Mask
This field displays the current subnet mask used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to
obtain the subnet mask, type the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet mask
to use.
Gateway
This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the machine. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP,
or RARP to obtain the gateway or router address, type the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a gateway or
router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.
IP Boot Tries
This field displays the number of attempts the machine will try to obtain an IP address when the Boot Method is set
