Quick Network Setup (DHCP)

For WorkCentre M123/M128 WorkCentre Pro 123/128

The System Administrator Guide contains detailed information about Network setups. This document is intended for setting up the Network using TCP/IP. If using Novell IPX, then see the System Administrator Guide for setup procedures.

Pre-requisites for quick Network Setup using TCP/IP:

1.Confirm that an existing operational network utilizing TCP/IP is available.

2.Confirm that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the M123/M128 and into an operational Ethernet port on the network.

NOTE: The Ethernet cable is an RJ45 type and is not supplied by Xerox

Configuring M123/M128 IP address via DHCP:

On startup, the M123/M128 Multifunction device defaults to DHCP to obtain its network configurations. A DHCP server delivers an IP address as well as other configuration settings to the device. If you use a DHCP server to allocate an IP address to the M123/M128 device, then proceed as follows:

Procedure for quick Network Setup using TCP/IP:

Step 1: Power on the M123/M128 device.

Step 2: Wait a minute or so while the M123/M128 device negotiates an IP address. Then print out the Network Connectivity Page.

To print the Network Configuration Report:

1.Select the Machine Status button on the M123/M128

2.Select Print Report List

3.Select Print Mode Settings

4.Select Setting List – Common Items

5.Press the Start button.

The Network Connectivity Page will be printed. Read the details to confirm that an IP address has been allocated and that is a valid IP address on your network.

NOTE: If the IP address on the Connectivity report starts with 167.xxx.xxx.xxx, then the DHCP server has not properly allocated an address or DHCP is not enabled on your network.

Step 3: Record the IP address allocated and from a workstation, open up a web browser (such as Internet Explorer). Type in the URL http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (The xxx’s represent the 123/M128 device IP address). If connected properly, you will see the M123/M128 device’s CentreWare Internet Services web page (see below).
