Configure TCP/IP Settings
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 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 the desired method for obtaining an IP Address.
8. If Static is selected, type in the addresses that apply for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway.
Note: If DHCP or BOOTP addressing method is selected, you cannot manually change the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, or Gateway. Select Manual if you wish to manually enter in these addresses.
Caution: Changing the IP address for the Device will affect NetBIOS/IP, 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 restarted, when taken out of service for maintenance, without being 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.
9. Determine the method to use to supply the DNS Server IP Addresses (to resolve Host Names with IP
Addresses).
10. Determine whether or not Dynamic DNS should be enabled.
11. When finished modifying settings, click the Apply button. To exit the settings screen without making
changes, click the Undo button.
Note: Changes to TCP/IP settings will not be applied until you restart the Device. A remote Reboot
Machine button is available on the Status Tab of Internet Services.
