Your Network Interface Board is now configured to operate Windows NT. You may print
from any application by following the normal print instructions for that application.
7.2 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP is a service much like BootP that provides a method for assignment and
maintenance of IP addresses. The Network Interface Board is able to obtain IP
information from this service.
There are two user selectable parameters related to the DHCP function. These are
accessible in the TCP section of Network Administration, in the HTML pages.
1.
Enable DHCP; and
2.
IP Address in NVRAM
è If DHCP is not enabled, the Network Interface Board will make no DHCP
requests under any circumstances. If the Network Interface Board does not
have an IP address stored, or if "IP Address in NVRAM" is OFF, the Network
Interface Board will issue BOOTP requests, etc,
è If DHCP is enabled, the Network Interface Board will make DHCP requests
when the Network Interface Board is reset or on power up, when the Network
Interface Board does not have an IP address stored, or when " IP Address in
NVRAM" is OFF. These DHCP requests will be in addition to BOOTP requests.
è If DHCP is enabled, and the Network Interface Board had an IP address in
NVRAM, and "IP Address in NVRAM" is ON, then the Network Interface Board will
use the IP information from NVRAM and there will be no DHCP activity on the part
of the Network Interface Board.
The factory default is with both Enable DHCP - ON and IP Address in NVRAM - ON. In
this case, the Network Interface Board will issue DHCP requests if it does not already
have IP identification information stored in its NV RAM.
Important: If DHCP and the Network Interface Board is in the default mode, you must
establish a permanent lease or reservation for the Network Interface Board in
the DHCP server. Failure to do this may cause the same address to be given out to
another host.
7.3 IP Peer to Peer Printing
This section explains how to setup and use IP Peer-to-Peer Printing. This allows you to
set up your print server ports for peer to peer printing for IP, Windows NT4.0 , and
Windows 95/98.
