• | BOOT Method This field displays methods to obtain the IP address using TCP/IP protocols.
| ||||||||||
• | IP Address This field displays the current IP address of the printer. If you have selected a BOOT Method of Static, enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the printer (check with your network administrator for the IP address to use). If you have selected a method other than Static, the printer will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your printer will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on. | ||||||||||
• | Subnet Mask This field displays the current subnet mask used by the printer. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the subnet mask to use. | ||||||||||
• | Gateway This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the printer. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not have a gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure. | ||||||||||
• | IP BOOT Tries This field displays how many times the printer attempts to scan the network to obtain the IP address through the BOOT Method you have set (see BOOT Method). The default setting is 3. | ||||||||||
• | The setting of On will cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the BOOT Method you have set (see BOOT Method). Selecting Off means the IP address doesn’t change when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the BOOT Method you have set. By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. If you wish to disable the APIPA protocol, see Disabling the APIPA protocol. | ||||||||||
• | This printer is compatible with IPv6, the next generation internet protocol. If you want to use the IPv6 protocol, visit http://solutions.brother.com for more information. |
