Specify network protocol options
Network Protocol Setup options are used to specify and set up TCP/IP
Ethernet, AppleTalk, and IPX (Novell) network protocols.
1. Press
the Offline button and press the Menu button until the
Network Protocol Setup option is displayed.
2. Press the Item/Enter button to display the following options.
Depending on the options you select, you should enter
information for the following options as required for your system:
•
TCP/IP—Ethernet—Yes/No (the default is No). Select Yes
if you have a TCP/IP network connected to the printer over
Ethernet cabling. The following options are displayed if
TCP/IP—Ethernet is set to Yes:
•
Enable Auto IP—Yes/No (the default is Yes). AutoIP
is the module that handles automatic TCP/IP
configuration for the system. It uses a set of standard
discovery protocols, RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP.
The following options are displayed if Enable Auto IP is
set to No:
•
Enable DHCP—Yes/No . The Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (specified in RC 2131) is an
extension to BOOTP that allows dynamic allocation of
IP addresses. DHCP assigns
leases to the assigned
IP addresses. The client is required to renew its lease
with the server in order to keep its address. If a lease
expires, the DHCP server reclaims the address and
may assign it to another client. This protocol is used
widely by Windows workstations.
•
Enable BootP—Yes/No . This protocol, specified in
RFC 1542, allows clients to query for IP addresses
and additional information.
• Enable Rarp—Yes/No . The Reverse Address
Resolution Protocol (RARP) is specified in RFC 903.
It enables a client to query for its IP address. This
protocol is rarely used.
