Epson 80211b Network Router User Manual


 
51
Subnet Mask
Set the subnet mask of your print server to the correct setting for your
network. This setting will be
255.255.255.0
for most networks in the home
or small office.
Boot Method
Method the print server uses to obtain an IP address. For most networks,
change this setting to
STATIC
, which prevents the IP address from changing
when you unplug the print server and plug it in again later.
AUTO
attempts to detect your IP address through DHCP, BOOTP, and
RARP. If unable to detect an IP address automatically, it uses the default IP
address: 192.0.0.192. If you leave this setting on
AUTO
, you may have to
repeat the steps to set your computer up to use the printer each time the IP
address for your print server changes.
Gateway (or Router)
Use this setting only if you are using the print server in a large organization
that has subnets for different departments.
RF Channel
Defines the radio frequency channel that the print server uses to
communicate. In most cases, the print server automatically configures the
RF channel. This value must match for all nodes on a network.
If you find that printing is too slow, you may be able to improve
performance by changing the RF channel on your computer(s) and access
point, if you have one. To avoid interference from other networks, choose a
setting at least three channels higher or lower than that for any nearby
wireless network (for example, if another network is set to channel 7, choose
channel 10 or higher, or channel 4 or lower).
MAC Address
Defines the Ethernet address of the print server. The MAC (Medium Access
Control) address is set during manufacture and cannot be changed. You can
find it on the sticker on the back of the print server.
