Dynamic Addressing
(DHCP)
The TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the
Server.
1
Power on your DocuPrint network printer and allow time
for an IP address to be assigned by the DHCP server (this
time may vary depending on network traffic).
2
Perform the steps contained in the section
“Print the
Configuration Sheet” (page 2-21)
.
On the Xerox CentreDirect External Print Server
(External Ethernet Adapter) set both DIP
switches, D1 and D2, to the UP position to disable
automatic printing of the configuration page.
3
Obtain the hardware and TCP/IP addresses from the
Configuration Sheet.
4
Update the lease time, if necessary, depending on your
printer usage patterns.
If you are using the Xerox CentreDirect External Print Server
(External Ethernet Adapter) to connect your printer to the
network, make sure the Adapter is powered on in addition to
the printer.
When the CentreDirect External Print Server acquires an IP
Address, the SYS LED blinks once per second. If the IP Address
is not set the SYSLED blinks 5 times per second.
If your network is using this protocol to assign TCP/IP
addresses, be aware that the lease on the assigned address can
run out if your printer is taken off the network for longer than
the allocated lease time.
