Dynamic IP address
Assignment
Obtaining an IP
address through DHCP
• If you have a DHCP server on your network, your print server
will receive an IP address automatically. The IP address will then
appear on the test page printed when you press the test button
once.
You should now be able to access the print server’s internal web
pages as described on Accessing the Web Pages, on page 182
• If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the
IP address of the print server manually. See “Manual IP Address
Assignment” on page 24.
Obtaining an IP
Address through
AutoIP
AutoIP may be used to set the IP address automatically in the
absence of a DHCP server.
The default AutoIP address structure is: 169.254.xxx.xxx.
Important: The AutoIP function will only function when the DHCP parameter
is enabled in the print server.
This function is enabled automatically upon installation of a brand
new print server. If you perform a Factory Default using the test
button on the print server and you do not have a DHCP server on your
network, AutoIP will automatically set the IP address of the print
server.
The DHCP Enabled parameter is enabled/disabled in the print server’s
web pages: Admin => Network Settings => Detailed View =>
TCP/IP => DHCP Enabled: Yes/No.
