7. In the Boot Method dropdown list in the IP Address row, select the method for
finding the EasyLAN Wireless IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address when
the EasyLAN Wireless powers on or is reset:
•
Auto sets the EasyLAN Wireless to try to get an IP address using DHCP,
BOOTP, and RARP. If it cannot get an IP address using these methods, Auto
changes to Static.
•
DHCP sets the EasyLAN Wireless to use the dynamic host configuration
protocol to get an IP address.
•
BOOTP sets the EasyLAN Wireless to use boot protocol to get an IP address.
•
RARP sets the EasyLAN Wireless to use reverse address resolution protocol to
get an IP address.
•
Static sets the EasyLAN Wireless to use the IP address set in the IP Address
field whenever it boots.
8. In the Boot Tries field in the IP Address row, enter the number of times the boot
method tries to set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address before using
the available values. This field is only used if the boot method is set to Auto,
DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.
What is the range of valid values for this field?
9. In the RARP Boot Settings row, select whether RARP sets the subnet mask based
on the EayLAN Wireless IP address and sets the gateway IP address. To use these
settings, set the boot method to RARP or Auto.
10. In the TCP Window row, enter the maximum TCP window for TCP
communications. Normally this value is set automatically, but you may want to
change it to optimize network performance.

this field?
11. In the TCP Timeout row, enter how many minutes or seconds a TCP job can be idle
before the job is terminated. If you set the timeout to zero, the TCP job can be idle
indefinitely.

12. In the LPD Banner Enable check box in the LPD Settings row, check the check box
to have the EasyLAN Wireless print the banner page in an LPD control file.
13. In the LPD Retry Enable check box in the LPD Settings row, check the check box
to have the EayLAN Wireless wait for an LPD job that has been terminated before
it was completed to be resent. If the LPD job is resent, the EasyLAN Wireless
continues printing the job where it had stopped.
14. In the Keepalive Timer row, enter how often in minutes the EasyLAN Wireless
sends an IP ping packet to the router to keep the router aware of the EasyLAN
Wireless. Enter zero to disable this feature.
15. In the Probe Idle Connections row, select Enable to have the EasyLAN Wireless
send a probe packet on TCP connections with no data traffic. If the EasyLAN
Wireless does not receive an acknowledgement, it closes the connection.
