Ethernet Port Verification for Default Assigned IP Address
169.254.xxx.xxx
An alternate method is required to test the Ethernet port when the PC’s IP address
falls within the range 169.254.xxx.xxx. PCs that have not been configured for a
specific network default to a “LOCAL LINK” value within the 169.254.xxx.xxx
range.
Note
To comply with industry standards, WorkCentre C2424 systems cannot be
manually configured for IP addresses within the LOCAL LINK range.
Note
Always print the Configuration Page to obtain a record of the system settings
before changing the IP address. After testing the system, be sure to restore the
system’s original network settings.
