Network settings Flow Chart
Static IP/DHCP:
Select Static IP if you do not have a
DHCP server or would prefer to manually manage your
VCC IP pool. Select DHCP to obtain various parameters
necessary for the client to operate such as the client IP,
subnet mask, gateway IP and DNS servers.
Server IP:
IP of the print server
Subnet Mask:
subnet on which the VCC is to operate.
Read only in DHCP mode.
Gateway IP:
IP of local network’s Gateway. Read only in
DHCP mode.
VCC IP:
client IP assigned to this VCC. Read only in DHCP
mode.
MAC Broadcast filter:
Filter located in the EMAC of the
FPGA. Blocks all network traffic except our ARPs and TCP
packets. This may cause additional TCP retries under
heavy network traffic. Turn off if units reboot randomly.
Fixed IP:
Use this in place of doing a DNS operation to
obtain the server IP. It is recommended that if the server
IP is not going to change that you use this method.
Use DNS:
Select this option if you want to use DNS to
obtain your print server’s IP.
Server Domain Name:
Enter the domain name of the
print server here. Maximum characters are 32. All special
characters are supported; the VCC will only read and save
the characters to the left of the first space character.
To change the settings (Static IP mode):
When the terminal is off-line (network cable
unplugged) and the unit is fully booted up; swipe
your parameters card and select ‘Network
settings’. If you want to manually control your
VCC IP pool, select ‘Static IP’, otherwise select
‘DHCP’.
Select Static IP and this will bring up the IP
parameters settings. You can either go through
them line by line or press the enter key to skip to
the parameter you wish to change. The display
will appear as shown below.

heavy network traffic. Turn off if units reboot randomly.
You can turn off the
keypad entry
to the parameters
capability. You should only do this if you have a secure
parameters card, otherwise you will not be able to change
settings on your terminals.
