When you make changes to TCP/IP
settings and click Save Changes,
you are prompted to reset the printer before
the changes take effect.
Note: Saving changes
to IP settings here overwrites existing
IP settings stored in Windows.
BOOTP/DHCP
Settings
With these settings, the printer
acquires TCP/IP information automatically.
To use the printer with BOOTP, you must
set up a reservation for the printer on
the BOOTP server.
BOOTP/DHCP
- On - The printer issues BOOTP
and DHCP requests on startup.
- Off - The printer does not
issue BOOTP or DHCP requests on startup.
DHCP
Server Address - Reports the IP address
of the DHCP server. This field is not displayed
if BOOTP/DHCP is off.
DHCP
Lease Expiration and DHCP
Lease Renewal - These fields report
when the printer's DHCP lease expires (if
not automatically renewed) and when the
printer is being negotiating to renew the
lease. This field does not display if BOOTP/DHCP
is off.
TCP/IP
Settings
Use these settings to enter
the printer's TCP/IP information manually.
IP
Address - Enter the printer's IP address.
The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents
a decimal number from 0 - 255. The value
entered must be a valid IP address and not
0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, or any address
starting with 127 or 224-255. The value
in this field is overwritten when BOOTP/DHCP
is enabled and a BOOTP or DHCP server assigns
a value.
Network
Mask - Enter a number for the Network
Mask address. The format is x.x.x.x, where
x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255.
The value in this field is overwritten when
BOOTP/DHCP is enabled and a BOOTP/DHCP server
assigns a value.
Router
/ Gateway Address - Gateway addresses
are used to communicate with devices not
on the same network segment. Enter the gateway
host IP address. The gateway host address
is the address of a host that is used to
retransmit the packets from the current
network segment to another network segment.
The format for each address is x.x.x.x,
where x represents a decimal number from
0 - 255. The value in this field may
be overwritten when BOOTP/DHCP is enabled
and a BOOTP or DHCP server assigns a value.
DDNS/WINS
Settings
The following settings may be
obtained from the BOOTP or DHCP Server (if
enabled). These settings allow the printer
to register its IP name and address so other
devices on the network can refer to it by
name.
DDNS
- Allows you to enable and disable DDNS.
Release
Host Name - Informs the server that
the host name reserved for this printer
can be used for another device. Required
for DDNS configuration.
DDNS/WINS
Name - This is the name the printer
registers with DDNS and WINS so other devices
on the network can refer to it by name.
The default name derives from the printer's
Ethernet address (e.g.: XEROX0A1E25); however,
this value can be set by the user. The value
in this field may be overwritten by BOOTP/DHCP.
DNS
Domain - This is the domain the printer
resides in and is used by networking protocols
to properly communicate with other devices
on the network. This value can be set by
the user, BOOTP, or DHCP. If set by the
user, the value in this field may be overwritten
by BOOTP/DHCP.
Primary
WINS Server - Enter the IP address for
the primary WINS name server. A value of
all zeros indicates that no server is configured.
If both primary and secondary name servers
are undefined, the printer broadcasts (peer-to-peer)
name recognition. The value in this field
may be overwritten by BOOTP/DHCP.
Secondary
WINS Server - Enter the IP address for
the secondary WINS name server. A value
of all zeros indicates that no server is
configured. If both primary and secondary
name servers are undefined, the printer
broadcasts (peer-to-peer) name recognition.
The value in this field may be overwritten
by BOOTP/DHCP.
DNS
Settings (Domain Name Services)
Use these settings to reference
servers (such as email servers) by name.
These settings are also used in Job
Accounting to display user host names
instead of addresses.
Primary
Name Server IP Address - Enter the IP
address for the primary name server. A value
of all zeros indicates that no server is
configured. If both primary and second name
servers are undefined, no lookup occurs.
Required for DNS configuration. The value
in this field may be overridden by BOOTP/DHCP.
Secondary
Name Server IP Address - Enter the IP
address for the secondary name server. A
value of all zeros indicates that no server
is configured. If both primary and secondary
name servers are undefined, no lookup occurs.
Optional for DNS configuration. The value
in this field may be overridden by BOOTP/DHCP.
Service
Location Protocol (SLP) Settings
Use the following settings to
change the configuration of the SLP Service
Agent in the printer:
SLP Enable
- On - The printer acts as an
SLP Service Agent based on the following
settings.
- Off - The printer will not
issue SLP service registrations nor
will it respond to SLP requests.
Directory Agent Discovery
Enable
- On - The printer will attempt
to perform SLP Directory Agent Discovery
as specified in the RFC.
- Off - The printer will not
attempt to perform SLP Directory Agent
Discovery.
Directory Agent - This
entry allows the administrator to manually
configure the Directory Agent for the printer.
If the field is blank and Directory Agent
Discover is set to On, then the
printer may discover one or more directory
agents.
Scope 1, 2, 3 - These
fields allow the administrator of the network
to manually configure the scopes used by
the SLP Service Agent in the printer. Up
to three scopes may be entered.
Note: If no values are
entered for Scope 1, 2, or 3, and
DHCP Option 79 has been configured on the
DHCP server, then the scopes specified in
Option 79 will be used by the printer.
SLP Multicast Enable
- On - The printer will use Multicast
to communicate as needed.
- Off - The printer will use
Broadcast instead of Multicast to communicate
as needed.
SLP Multicast TTL - This
value specifies the multicast radius, often
referred to as hop count or time-to-live,
for SLP. The valid range for this setting
is between 0 and 255.
SLP MTU - This value
specifies the maximum packet size that can
be transmitted for UDP. If packets exceed
this size, then TCP/IP will be used. This
value is set by the system administrator.
Universal
Plus and Play (UPnP) Settings
UPnP provides a simplified
methods used to obtain an IP Address for
a printer, locate devices on the network,
and display those devices on desktop computers.
Use the following settings to
change the configuration of the UPnP agent
in the printer.
Auto IP Enable
- On - The printer attempts to
assign an IP Address using the Auto
IP Protocol. This protocol allows a
network device to assign an IP Address
to the device when DHCP/BOOTP requests
for IP address assignment fail and the
device has no static IP address. The
IP address assigned is in the range
of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
The default setting is 169.254.254.255.
- Off - The printer will not
use the Auto IP protocol to assign an
IP address. This setting is recommended
for use on enterprise networks.
Multicast DNS Enable
- On - The printer attempts to
resolve IP Hostname or IP Address queries
when there are no DNS servers available;
or the DNS servers available do not
provide name resolutions for hosts on
the LINKLOCAL network by DNS
requests to the LINKLOCAL multicast
address.
- Off - The printer will not
issue multicast DNS requests.
SSDP Enable
- On - The printer sends and
receives Simple Device Discovery Protocol
(SSDP) announcements and requests.
- Off - The printer will not
issue nor respond to SSDP requests.
SSDP TTL - This value
specifies the multicast radius, often referred
to as hop count or time-to-live,
for SSDP. The valid range for this setting
is between 0 and 255.
