    Setting the IP Address (IP v. 4)

    29-Jan-2016
    8202846700

    Solution

      The machine's IPv4 address can be either assigned automatically by a dynamic IP addressing protocol, such as DHCP, or entered manually.

      1. Start the Remote UI and log on in System Manager Mode.

      2. Click [Settings/Registration].

      3. Click [Network Settings] [TCP/IP Settings].

      4. Click [Edit] in [IPv4 Settings].

      5. Set the IP address.

      Automatically assigning an IP address
      5-A-1. In the [Select Protocol] list, select [DHCP], [BOOTP], or [RARP].
      NOTE:
      If you do not want to use DHCP/BOOTP/RARP to assign an IP address automatically
      • Select [Off]. If you select the [DHCP], [BOOTP], or [RARP] protocol when these services are unavailable, the machine will waste time and communications resources searching the network for these services.

      5-A-2. Check that [Auto IP] is set to [On].
      • If [Off] is selected, change the setting to [On].
      NOTE:
      Even if Auto IP is enabled, IP addresses assigned via DHCP/BOOTP/RARP override an address obtained via Auto IP.

      Manually entering an IP address
      5-B-1. Select [Off] for [Select Protocol] and [Auto IP].
      5-B-2. Set the [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], and [Gateway Address] fields.

      6. Click [OK].

      NOTE
      Checking whether the settings are correct
      • Make sure that the Remote UI screen can be displayed with your computer.
      If you change the IP address after installing the printer driver
      • If you are using an MFNP port, and the machine and the computer are in the same subnet, then the connection will be maintained. You do not need to add a new port. If you are using a standard TCP/IP port, then you need to add a new port.
