This chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for setting up your machine for network connections.

This chapter includes:

Introduction

Supported operating systems

Configuring TCP/IP

Setting ethernet speed

Restoring the network configuration

Printing a network configuration page

Introduction

Once you have connected your machine to a network with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, you can share the machine with other network users.

You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods:

Via network administration programs

You can configure your machine’s print server settings and manage the machine via the following programs that came with your machine:

SyncThru™ Web Admin Service: A web-based printer management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network printers from any site with corporate intranet access.

SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your network print server, which allows you to:

-Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to connect to various network environments.

-Customize printer, copy, and fax settings.

SetIP: A utility program allowing you to select a network interface and manually configure the addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.

For further details, refer to the user’s guide on the network utilities CD that came with your machine.

Via the control panel

You can set up the following basic network parameters through the machine’s control panel:

Configure TCP/IP

Configure Ethernet Speed

TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

IPP: Internet Printing Protocol

SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol

Configuring TCP/IP

Your machine can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information, such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses. There are several ways in which your machine can be assigned a TCP/ IP address, depending on your network.

Static addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the system administrator.

Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP: A TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the server.

Note

Before configuring TCP/IP, you need to set the network protocol to TCP/IP.

Static addressing

To enter a TCP/IP address from your machine’s control panel, take the following steps:

1Press Menu until Copy Menu appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.

2Press the Scroll buttons until Network appears and press OK.

3Press OK when TCP/IP appears.

4Press the Scroll buttons until Static appears and press OK.

5Press OK when IP Address appears.
