Network Connectivity
TCP/IP
Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
Bonjour is a discovery protocol that allows devices on a TCP/IP network to discover each other without
knowledge of specific IP addresses. Bonjour is built in to Macintosh operating systems. You can install
Bonjour on Windows devices.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer requires a unique IP address. Many networks, and
cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer on the network that is configured to
use DHCP.
If you use a cable or DSL router, for information on IP addressing, refer to the documentation for your
router.
Note: When configuring settings in Properties, you will be prompted to enter the Administrator
account user name and password. For information about logging in as an administrator, refer to
Accessing the Xerox® CentreWare® Internet Services Administrator Account.
To configure TCP/IP settings using the printer control panel, refer to Network Settings.
Configuring TCP/IP Settings Using Xerox
®
CentreWare
®
Internet Services
If your printer has a valid network address, you can configure TCP/IP settings in Xerox
®
CentreWare
®
Internet Services. For details, refer to Assigning a Network Address.
Configuring IPv4
You can use IPv4 or IPv6 in addition to or in place of the other.
1. In Xerox
®
CentreWare
®
Internet Services, click Properties  Connectivity  Protocols.
2. Click TCP/IP.
3. For Protocol, select Enabled.
4. For Host Name, type a unique name for your printer.
5. For IP Address Resolution, select an option. Fields that appear depend on the option that you
select.
• STATIC: This option disables dynamic addressing and allows you to type a static IP address.
Type the Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.
• BOOTP: This option allows the printer to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP server that does
not respond to DHCP requests.
• DHCP: This option allows your DHCP server to assign an IP address to the printer. Dynamic
DNS Registration is enabled.
6. For Domain Name, type the fully qualified domain name of your authentication server.
7. For DNS Configuration, type the IP address for up to three servers.
