Appendix A: Configuration Settings
IP Address
Address used to identify a node on a network supporting the TCP/IP protocol. The
format for IP (Internet Protocol) addresses is a set of four bytes or segments, separated
by periods. Each byte can have any value from zero (0) to 254. If you need to enter an
address, make sure it conforms to the addressing scheme for your network and that it
does not conflict with the IP address for any other node on your network. The print
server’s default IP address is 192.0.0.192.
To view your computer’s IP address, do the following:

WorkGroup/Domain
Used on networks that support NetBIOS or NetBEUI. WP-Admin detects this
setting automatically, so you should not have to change it. The print server must be
on the same workgroup or domain as all computers using the printer.
Subnet Mask
Set the subnet mask of your print server to the correct setting for your network. This
setting will be
255.255.255.0
for most networks in the home or small office.
