4.1.2 Step 2:Setting Up the TCP/IP Protocol in the Network
Card
The IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are required to be set for the
Network Card. If the TCP/IP protocol settings on the computer are set from the DHCP
server, proceed to
When Setting from the DHCP Server in Step 1 on
page 18
. If it is
done by entering directly, proceed to
When Setting by Direct Entering in Step 1 on
page 19
.
When Setting from the DHCP Server in Step 1
This Network Card supports DHCP server and automatically assigns the IP address
from the DHCP server by default. Proceed to section
4.1.3 on
page 23
.
To confirm the assigned addresses, turn the printer OFF and ON again. Those can be
viewed by printing out the KX-P8415 Configuration Page. Instructions on how to print
the Configuration Page, refer to the “KX-P8415 Setup Guide and Reference Guide”.
Note:
By default, once an IP address has been set, it will be kept and used for the next
time you use the printer. If you want to assign the IP address every time, WINS
server will be required. If you wish to change the settings, refer to section
6.5 on
page 82
.
Note:
The IP address assigned from the DHCP server has either limited or unlimited
lease term. If your IP address has a limited lease term, you have to request for the
extension of the lease before the expiration.
If you changed the settings to assign the IP address every time, the lease term is
terminated when you turn off the printer even if your IP address has the unlimited
lease term. If you want to keep the IP address permanently, refer to section
6.5 on
page 82
.
