Setting the 882’s IP address
You can either set the IP address of the 882 manually with an address you select or
automatically by using the built in DHCP support. The default state of the 882 is that
DHCP is off. So you have to enable it if you want the IP address to be set automatically
from a DHCP server. The procedures for setting the IP address manually and enabling
DHCP for auto configuration are provided below.
Each 882 on the network must have a unique IP address if you want to control the 882
over a network, or want the 882 to share resources located on a file server. Typically, your
site’s LAN administrator will provide you with IP addresses for each 882. Depending on
how your site’s LAN is configured, your LAN adminstrator may also provide you with a
subnet mask.
To set the IP address of the 882:
1. Press the Tools key. The Tools menu appears on the 882’s display as shown below.
2. Choose the System item by pressing the adjacent soft key. The System menu appears
on the 882’s display as shown below.
3. Choose the Network item by pressing the adjacent soft key. The 882’s IP address and
subnet mask appear on the 882’s display as shown below.
