2-16 Setting up the Fiery X3

Select protocol

DHCP/BOOTP/RARP [DHCP]

This option appears only if you answered Yes to Enable Auto IP Conﬁguration. Select

the protocol over which the Fiery X3 should search for its IP address. Both DHCP and

BOOTP allow the Fiery X3 to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask

automatically. RARP obtains only the Ethernet IP address.

Depending on your network, the Fiery X3 might be assigned a different address after

you reboot the Fiery X3. With the DHCP setting, the Fiery X3 can be assigned a

different address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already conﬁgured

properly for the protocol you select.

IP Address

[127.0.0.1]

Enter the Fiery X3 IP address for Ethernet. This IP address, unlike an IP address set

automatically, remains the same if you reboot the Fiery X3. You must change the

default to a valid address for your network.

Subnet Mask

[255.255.255.0]

This option lets you modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP over Ethernet.

The subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 by default. To set the subnet mask, enter one

of the following values:

• 255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128

• 255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191

• 255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191

NOTE: Conﬁrm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator before

proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those listed.
