12.2.1 Enable Combo Print Server’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the Combo Print Server is with TCP/IP support enabled.
Anyway, you can configure the Combo Print Server to enable TCP/IP support using the
configuration program.
12.2.2 Setup Combo Print Server’s IP Address
The Combo Print Server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by
the network.
You can set up the IP address on the various Unix/Linux systems using any one of the
following methods:
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The Combo Print Server will use the last two methods to obtain its IP address
automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
12.2.2.1 DHCP
There are many Unix/Linux systems that support DHCP protocol, and the procedures to
configure the DHCP server database are different. Please refer to the manual of
Unix/Linux for the way to use different DHCP Server. It is highly recommended that the
DHCP server should be located on the same network as the Combo Print Server.
12.2.2.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX/LINUX system that is
accessible by the Combo Print Server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP
address of the Combo Print Server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should be
located on the same subnet as the Combo Print Server. If you use Network Information
Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP
services before doing the following BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map,
please refer to your system documentation.
