Dynamic Addressing (RARP/BOOTP)
The TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server. Follow the
steps below:
1. Power the printer ON and allow time for an IP address to be assigned
by the RARP/BOOTP server (this time may vary depending on
network traffic.)
2. Perform the steps contained in the section of this chapter entitled Print
the Print Settings Page .
3. Obtain the DocuPrint printer Network Card and TCP/IP addresses from
the
Printer Settings page.
4. Update the RARP/BOOTP server’s /etc/ethers , and the /etc/hosts files
with a host name, TCP/IP and Network Card addresses. Consult your
UNIX documentation for more RARP/BOOTP server configuration
details.
Dynamic Addressing (DHCP)
The TCIP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.
1. Power the printer ON and allow time for an IP address to be assigned
by the DHCP server (this time may vary depending on network traffic).
2. Perform the steps contained in the section of this chapter entitled Print
the Print Settings Page .
3. Obtain the DocuPrint printer Network Card and TCP/IP addresses from
the Printer Settings
page.
4. Update the lease time, if necessary, depending on your printer usage
patterns.
NOTE: If your network is using this protocol to assign TCP/IP addresses,
be aware that the lease on the assigned address can run out if your printer
is taken off the network for longer than the allocated lease time.
