WPS870G

A dynamically assigned IP address might change, which means you might have to alter
the Print Port if you manually set up TCP/IP printing and if you power off and on the
WPS870G. The Print Server utility, however, will handle the IP assignment from a
DHCP server for you.
The method you choose depends on what you have available and how you want to work
with the WPS870G. If you already have a wireless router, then the DHCP/dynamic IP
address option is the easiest since it does not require any additional set up time, especially
if used in conjunction with the Print Server utility. The Installation Wizard on the CD-ROM
supports either method.
Choosing a Static IP Address
The following two sections provide assistance in determining an IP address to use on your
network. These instructions are not necessary when using a dynamically assigned IP
address.
Subnet Mask/Gateway Address Discovery
If you select static IP assignment, you need to identify your Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
address of your wireless network. Use the following procedure:
1
Open a command prompt by clicking
Start
and
Run
.
2
For Windows 98SE and ME, in the Open field, type
command
and press
Enter
or
OK
.
For Windows 2000 and XP, type
cmd
.
Or, navigate using your
Start
button to

In the Command window, type
ipconfig
. You should see something similar to the
following example for your network adapter:
Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix.: Example.example.example.com.
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.10
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.1

From this window you are able to determine your Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
address (circled in blue above). The IP address shown is assigned to your Ethernet
adapter, but it does help to indicate what IP address you could assign.
