IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 11
To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its IP address and subnet
mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host
computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.
IP address 11
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An IP address
consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
How the IP address is assigned to your print server: 11
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network the print server will automatically obtain its IP
address from that server.
NOTE
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the Router.
For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see:
Using DHCP to configure the IP address on page 99.
Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 99.
Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 99.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will
automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on
APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 100.
Subnet mask 11
Subnet masks restrict network communication.
Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2
•Computer 1
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000
•Computer 2
IP Address: 192.168.1.3
