TCP/IP Settings Help
When you make changes to TCP/IP settings and click Save Changes,
you are prompted to reset the printer before the changes take effect.
Note: Saving changes to IP settings here overwrites existing
IP settings stored in the printer. Contact your network administrator before changing TCP/IP settings.
BOOTP/DHCP Settings
With these settings, the printer acquires TCP/IP information automatically.
To use the printer with BOOTP, you must set up a reservation for the printer
on the BOOTP server.
BOOTP/DHCP
- On - The printer issues BOOTP and DHCP requests on startup. This allows the server to assign the printer an address.
- Off - The printer does not issue BOOTP or DHCP requests on startup.
DHCP Server Address - Reports
the IP Address of the DHCP server. This field does not display
if BOOTP/DHCP is off.
DHCP Lease Expiration and DHCP
Lease Renewal - These fields report when the printer's DHCP lease expires
(if not automatically renewed) and when the printer is negotiating to
renew the lease. These fields do not display if BOOTP/DHCP is off.
TCP/IP Settings
Use these settings to enter the printer's TCP/IP information manually.
IP Address - Enter the printer's
IP address. The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal
number from
0 - 255. The value entered must be a valid IP address and not 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255,
or any address starting with 127 or 224-255. The value in this field is overwritten
when BOOTP/DHCP is enabled and a BOOTP or DHCP server assigns a value.
Network Mask - Enter a number
for the Network Mask address. The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents
a decimal number from 0 - 255. The value in this field is overwritten when BOOTP/DHCP is enabled and a BOOTP/DHCP server assigns a value.
Router / Gateway Address - Gateway
addresses are used to communicate with devices not on the same network segment.
Enter the gateway host IP address. The gateway host address is the address of
a host that is used to retransmit the packets from the current network segment
to another network segment. The format for each address is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255. The value in this field may
be overwritten when BOOTP/DHCP is enabled and a BOOTP or DHCP server assigns
a value.
DDNS/WINS Settings
The following settings may be obtained from the BOOTP or DHCP Server
(if enabled). These settings allow the printer to register its IP name and address
so other devices on the network can refer to it by name.
DDNS - Allows you to enable and
disable DDNS.
Release Host Name - Informs the
server that the host name reserved for this printer can be used for another
device. Required for DDNS configuration.
DDNS/WINS Name - This is the name
the printer registers with DDNS and WINS so other devices on the
network can refer to it by name. The default name derives from the printer's
Ethernet address (for example: XEROX0A1E25); however, this value can
be set by the user. The value in this field may be overwritten by BOOTP/DHCP.
DDNS Domain - This is the domain the
printer resides in and is used by networking protocols to properly communicate
with other devices on the network. This value can be set by the user, BOOTP,
or DHCP. If set by the user, the value in this field may be overwritten
by BOOTP/DHCP.
Primary WINS Server - Enter the
IP address for the primary WINS name server. A value of all zeros indicates
that no server is configured. If both primary and secondary name servers are
undefined, the printer broadcasts (peer-to-peer) name recognition. The value
in this field may be overwritten by BOOTP/DHCP.
Secondary WINS Server - Enter
the IP address for the secondary WINS name server. A value of all zeros indicates
that no server is configured. If both primary and secondary name servers are
undefined, the printer broadcasts (peer-to-peer) name recognition. The value
in this field may be overwritten by BOOTP/DHCP.
DNS Settings (Domain Name Services)
Use these settings to reference servers (such as email servers)
by name. These settings are also used in Job
Accounting to display user host names instead of addresses.
Primary Name Server IP Address -
Enter the IP address for the primary name server. A value of all zeros indicates
that no server is configured. If both primary and second name servers are undefined,
no lookup occurs. Required for DNS configuration. The value in this field may
be overridden by BOOTP/DHCP.
Secondary Name Server IP Address
- Enter the IP address for the secondary name server. A value of all zeros indicates
that no server is configured. If both primary and secondary name servers are
undefined, no lookup occurs. Optional for DNS configuration. The value in this
field may be overridden by BOOTP/DHCP.
Multicast
DNS (Bonjour™) Enable - When Multicast DNS is set to On, the printer
is able to respond to Multicast DNS and be automatically discovered on an IP
network by Apple Macintosh OS X Bonjour™ technology. The default setting is On.
Service Location Protocol (SLP) Settings
Use the following settings to change the configuration of the SLP
Service Agent in the printer:
SLP Enable
- On - The printer acts as an SLP Service Agent based on the following
settings.
- Off - The printer will not issue SLP service registrations nor
will it respond to SLP requests.
Directory Agent Discovery Enable
- On - The printer will attempt to perform SLP Directory Agent Discovery
as specified in the RFC.
- Off - The printer will not attempt to perform SLP Directory Agent
Discovery.
Directory Agent - This entry allows the administrator to
manually configure the Directory Agent for the printer. If the field is blank
and Directory Agent Discover is set to On, then the printer may
discover one or more directory agents.
Scope 1, 2, 3 - These fields allow the administrator of the
network to manually configure the scopes used by the SLP Service Agent in the
printer. Up to three scopes may be entered.
Note: If no values are entered for Scope 1, 2, or 3,
and DHCP Option 79 has been configured on the DHCP server, then the scopes specified
in Option 79 will be used by the printer.
SLP Multicast Enable
- On - The printer will use Multicast to communicate as needed.
- Off - The printer will use Broadcast instead of Multicast to communicate
as needed.
SLP Multicast TTL - This value specifies the multicast radius,
often referred to as hop count or time-to-live, for SLP. The valid
range for this setting is between 0 and 255.
SLP MTU - This value specifies the maximum packet size that
can be transmitted for UDP. If packets exceed this size, then TCP/IP will be
used. This value is set by the system administrator.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Settings
UPnP provides a simplified methods used to obtain an IP Address for a printer, locate devices on the network, and display those devices on desktop
computers.
Use the following settings to change the configuration of the UPnP agent in the printer.
Auto IP Enable
- On - The printer attempts to assign an IP Address using the Auto
IP Protocol. This protocol allows a network device to assign an IP Address
to the device when DHCP/BOOTP requests for IP address assignment fail and
the device has no static IP address. The IP address assigned is in the range
of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. The default setting is
169.254.254.255.
- Off - The printer will not use the Auto IP protocol to assign an
IP address. This setting is recommended for use on enterprise networks.
SSDP Enable
- On - The printer sends and receives Simple Device Discovery Protocol
(SSDP) announcements and requests.
- Off - The printer will not issue nor respond to SSDP requests.
SSDP TTL - This value specifies the multicast radius, often
referred to as hop count or time-to-live, for SSDP. The valid
range for this setting is between 0 and 255.
TFTP Settings
- TFTP Server Name - This name can be a maximum of 63 characters in length.
- Boot File Name - This name can be a maximum of 127 characters in length.
