Dynamic Addressing (DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP)
If your printer is equipped with a Token Ring interface, prior to
connecting your printer to your network, use the section of this
document entitled Token Ring Interface Network Connection to
set the Ring Speed and Source Routing settings for your
environment. Then return to this procedure and follow the
instructions
The Document Centre supports two methods of Dynamic
Addressing:
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or BOOTP
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)
The TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by a DHCP server.
Follow the steps below:
NOTE By default, DHCP is enabled on the Document Centre. This
procedure will show you how to disable DHCP (or enable it if it
was disabled) and set your TCP/IP information using BOOTP or
RARP.
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP servers vary in the information that they
return to the device requesting service. Consult the documentation
supplied with your DHCP or RARP server software to verify what
TCP/IP information it can supply. Your Document Centre can
retrieve the following values from DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP
servers:
TCP/IP Address
Host Name (DHCP Only)
Subnet Mask
Gateway TCP/IP Address
Broadcast Address (DHCP only)
Domain Name (DHCP only)
Preferred and Alternate DNS Server (DHCP only)
Wins Server (DHCP only)
