Preparation for Protocol Settings
Before you specify the machine’s protocol settings, it is necessary to specify the machine’s IP address to enable communication between the machine and your computers. You can use any of the following to specify the settings. Specify the settings using the easiest method.
•The machine’s operation panel
•NetSpot Device Installer (Canon utility software included in the User Software CD)
•The ARP/PING commands
IMPORTANT
•In the following operations, the machine’s MAC address is necessary. To check the MAC address from the machine’s operation panel, print a USER DATA LIST. (See Chapter 6, "Reports and Lists," in the Facsimile Guide.)
•Before you perform the following operations in this section, check that the machine is ON and connected to the network.
•If you are using ARP/PING commands, the following steps directly allocate the IP address to the machine. For this machine, in addition to direct allocation of the IP address to the machine, you can use DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to specify the IP address. When the machine is started or reset, it checks whether DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is being used, and then allocates an IP address using the first available setting method. Because the machine’s IP address is automatically allocated at this time, it is not necessary for you to perform the following operations in this section. However if you are reallocating the IP address, or if DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is not used, perform the following operations.
