3. SETTING NETWORK FUNCTIONS
Setting the TCP/IP Protocol
You can set the TCP/IP protocol that is commonly used for most of network system. It is recommended to
configure the TCP/IP protocol because TopAccess, the device management web-based utility, and e-Filing
web-based utility, that allows you to manage files in the e-Filing, will be available with the TCP/IP protocol.
Also other network features of this equipment use the TCP/IP protocol.
In the TCP/IP menu, you can enable or disable the TCP/IP protocol, select the addressing mode, assign
the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (if manually assigned).
How the TCP/IP protocol is configured is depending on the network configuration of your network.
• When you assign the TCP/IP using the Auto-IP addressing or DHCP server:
If you do not know how the TCP/IP settings should be assigned, you can select Dynamic addressing
mode. When the Dynamic addressing mode is selected, this equipment will obtain the IP address,
subnet mask, default gateway, primary WINS server address, secondary WINS server address, POP3
server address, and SMTP server address from the DHCP server if the network supports the DHCP. If
the network does not support the DHCP, this equipment will assign the appropriate IP address using
the Auto-IP addressing.
P.100 “Setting the TCP/IP for Auto-IP and DHCP Server”
• When you assign the TCP/IP using the DHCP server only:
If your local area network has been configured with the DHCP server and you do not want to enable
the Auto-IP addressing, you can select No Auto-IP addressing mode. When the No Auto-IP address-
ing mode is selected, the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, primary WINS server address,
secondary WINS server address, POP3 server address, and SMTP server address will be automati-
cally obtained from the DHCP server, and the Auto-IP addressing will be disabled. To enable the
DHCP addressing only, please configure the TCP/IP settings as described in following procedure.
P.102 “Setting the TCP/IP for DHCP Server Only”
• When you connect to local area network where the static IP addresses are used:
If your local area network has been configured with the static IP address, you must assign the specific
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway as required.
