TCP/IP Dynamic Addressing
1. Open your Web browser and enter the TCP/IP address of the Device in the Address or Location field.
Press Enter.
2. Click the Properties Tab.
3. Click the plus symbol (+) to the left of the Connectivity, then the Protocols file folder.
4. Select TCP/IP in the directory tree
5. Review the available selections as displayed on your screen and explained in the TCP/IP
Configuration Selection List, below.`
6. Accept the default Host Name, or type in your own unique Host Name for this Device.
7. Select DHCP or BOOTP as your method for obtaining an IP Address.
CAUTION: Changing the IP address for the Device will affect LPR/LPD, FTP, SNMP, and Port 9100
printing. It will also interrupt the ability to communicate with the device using the Internet Services
(series of web pages on the Device). When you change the Device's IP Address, make sure to print
out a Configuration Report (as stated in this guide) so that you have a record of the TCP/IP addresses
for use with workstations that need to communicate with the Device using TCP/IP.
Note: When using DHCP, set a reasonably long Lease Time for the IP Address so that the Device can
be shut down and serviced, when required, without being continuously assigned a new IP Address.
Note: Upon rebooting, when the system comes up, if it can’t locate a DHCP server on the network it
will use whatever IP address it was previously configured with.
8. Determine the method to use to supply the DNS Server IP Addresses (to resolve Host Names with IP
Addresses).
9. Determine whether or not Dynamic DNS should be enabled.
10. Click Apply when done.
