DHCP Settings
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol similar to
BOOTP, which automatically provides IP addresses to client devices.
When there is a DHCP server on the network, the Network Card can
obtain IP parameters automatically from the server at power up.
Enable DHCP
Checking this option sends a DHCP request whenever the Net-
work Card is power up.
IP Address in NVRAM
When this option is checked, the Network Card uses the IP address
stored in NVRAM.
• The Network Card does not send DHCP requests when DHCP
is disabled. If there is no IP address assigned to the Network
Card or if
IP Address in NVRAM
is turned off, the Network
Card sends a BOOTP request.
• A DHCP request is sent when the Network Card is reset or
powered up (while DHCP is enabled and no IP address assigned
to the Network Card or if
IP Address in NVRAM is turned off).
If an IP address cannot be obtained from the DHPC server,
BOOTP and RARP are used to obtain an IP address.
• When DHCP is enabled, an IP address is assigned to the Net-
work Card, and
IP Address in NVRAM is turned on, the Net-
work Card uses the IP address stored in NVRAM. In this case,
the Network Card does not send a DHCP request.

NetBIOS (WINS) Setting
WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) makes it possible for a
device, such as your Network Card, to register a NetBIOS name (like
ML1_995243) along with its current IP address (like 192.9.200.200).
A client wanting to contact the printer uses the WINS server to match
the NetBIOS name with an IP address. Most users will find it easier to
remember the NetBIOS name for the printer rather than its IP address.
