Network environment
You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your network machine. You can set up the basic network settings through the machine's control panel.
The following table shows the network environments supported by the machine:

Introducing useful network programs
There are several programs available to setup the network settings easily in network environment. For the network administrator especially, managing several machines on the network is possible.
Before using the programs below, set the IP adress first.
SyncThru™ Web Service
Web server embedded on your network machine, which allows you to:
•Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to connect to various network environments.
•Customize machine settings.
(See "Using SyncThru™ Web Service" on page 60.)
SyncThru™ Web Admin Service
SetIP
This utility program allows you to select a network interface and manually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol. (See "Setting IP address" on page 27)
TCP/IPv6 is not supported by this program.
Using a wired network
You must set up the network protocols on your machine to use it on your network. This chapter will show you how this is easily accomplished.
You can use network after connecting network cable to a corresponding port on your machine.
Printing Network Configuration report
You can print a Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help you to set up a network and troubleshooting problems.
