Wireless network setup

Before entering the IP address for the machine, you must know the computer’s network configuration information. If the computer’s network

configuration is set to DHCP, the wireless network setting should also be DHCP. Likewise, if the computer’s network configuration is set to Static, the wireless network setting should also be Static.

If your computer is set to DHCP and you want to use Static wireless network setting, you must contact the network administrator to get the static IP address.

For the DHCP method

If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if DHCP is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm window. If it shows Static, click Change TCP/IP to change the assignment method to Receive IP address automatically (DHCP).

For the Static method

If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if Static is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm window. If it shows DHCP, click Change TCP/IP to enter the IP address and other network configuration values for the machine.

For example:

If the computer’s network information is as shown follows:

-IP address: 169.254.133.42

-Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0

Then, the machine’s network information should be as below:

-IP address: 169.254.133.43

-Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)

-Gateway: 169.254.133.1

The wireless network connects according to the network configuration.
