Table A.1 IP Protocol

Menu Item

Values

Description

Enable BOOTP

Yes
No

Using this menu item, you can set BOOTP on or off.

You should select No

if you have set the IP address, netmask,

and/or gateway through the printer’s control panel and you want
these settings to always apply to this adapter.

You should select Yes

if you want the adapter to automatically

find its BOOTP server to get its IP address, netmask, and/or
gateway.

Set
IP Address

IP Address

Using this menu item, you can set the IP address directly on the
printer’s control panel. When you do, be sure to set Enable
BOOTP to No

If Enable BOOTP is set to Yes and you turn the

printer off and on again, the adapter will search for a BOOTP
server and will use the address stored in that file instead of this
address.

*NOTE

Set
IP Netmask

IP Netmask

Using this menu item, you can set the IP netmask directly
through the printer’s control panel. When you do, be sure to set
Enable BOOTP to

No.

If Enable BOOTP is set to Ye

and you

turn the printer off and on again, the adapter will search for a
BOOTP server and will use the netmask stored in that file
instead of this one.

*NOTE

The default IP netmask is:

255.255.255.0

Set
IP Gateway

IP Gateway

Using this menu item, you can set the IP gateway directly
through the printer’s control panel. When you do, be sure to set
Enable BOOTP to No

If Enable BOOTP is set to Yes and you

turn the printer off and on again, the adapter will search for a
BOOTP server and will use the gateway stored in that file
instead of this one.

*NOTE

The default IP gateway is:

0.0.0.0
