4.Select a method for specifying the IP address. If you select Automatic, DHCP becomes available and assigns an IP address automatically. If you want to set the IP address manually, select Manual instead.
Note:
❏The network administrator must confirm any changes made to the IP address settings.
❏When Automatic is selected, DHCP becomes available. To use the DHCP server, make sure it is installed on your computer and correctly configured. See your operating system’s online help for detailed instructions.
❏If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend that you select Manual and enter an IP address. This is because if you select Automatic, the IP address of the print server changes every time you turn on the printer so that you need to change the printer port setting accordingly.
5.When setting an IP address using the ping command, select the Set using PING check box. Do not select when setting an IP address with EpsonNet WinAssist/MacAssist/WebAssist; this prevents any unexpected change of the IP address.
Note:
Be sure not to select the check box when not using ping; this prevents an unexpected change of the IP address by EpsonNet WebManager.
6.If you want to get a private address between 169.254.1.1 and 169.254.254.254 automatically when an IP address cannot be obtained by the DHCP server, leave the Set using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) check box selected; otherwise, clear the check box.
7.To assign an IP address manually, enter the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway. Be sure the IP address does not conflict with any other devices on the network.
Note:
If there is a server or a router functioning as a gateway, enter the IP address of the server or the router for the gateway address. If there is no gateway, leave the default values there.
