Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters 8

Setting IP parameters: DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol) is a system in which

Windows NT servers can allocate IP addresses dynamically. Under DHCP, the server gives the printer (called a DHCP client) an IP address when the printer is reset.

Installing the DHCP server

1.In Control Panel:Network, select Add Software.

2.Select TCP/IP components.

3.In the second window that is displayed, select DHCP server.

Setting up a DHCP server

1.Access your DHCP management utility:

■Windows NT 4.x. Click Start; select Programs, then Administrative Tools (Common). Select DHCP Manager.

■Windows 3.5x. Go to the Network Administration group and select DHCP Manager.

2.Conﬁgure DHCP with a scope; a scope is a range of IP addresses available for allocation to DHCP clients. For example, the scope could be the IP addresses 192.2.194.101 through 192.2.194.254.

Deﬁning a scope in Windows NT 4.x

a.Click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, DHCP Manager.

b.Double-click Local Machine.

c.Click Scope, Create.

d.Enter the IP information to deﬁne the scope.
