Basic TCP/IP Installation Overview
When installing your print server in a TCP/IP environment, IP addresses are
essential as a basic means of communications. It is therefore necessary to first
assign an IP address to your print server unit. After assigning an IP address, the
print server can be configured accordingly.
Assigning an IP Address
The first step to install a print server on a TCP/IP network is to assign the print
server an IP address and other related TCP/IP settings before the print server can
function. You can select the following two methods to specify an IP address the
print server. Each method will be detailed in the following section.
1. Use the PSAdmin utility.
2. Manually specify (using DOS commands or UNIX text-mode commands.
This applies to Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 and UNIX systems).
Note: The Network Print Monitor can only search for the print server(s) over
the same network segment the Windows 2000/XP/2003/UNIX computer is
located. You would like to install a print server on a different network
segment.
DHCP
The print server supports DHCP feature, allowing the print server to obtain an IP
address and related TCP/IP settings automatically from a DHCP server. While the
print server supports DHCP, we strongly recommend you manually specify a
fixed IP address to the print server. By default, the print server’s DHCP function
is disabled.
