Methods For Setting TCP/IP Values

Methods available to set TCP/IP values vary based the operating environment (see Table 11).

arp. Easy to use but cannot be routed, so printer and host computer must be on same network segment. Requires the use of print server MAC.

bootp. Workhorse method. Can be routed, and allows assigning of IP address, subnet mask, and gateway value in one step.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Easy in concept, but a poor choice for printers, because printers must always have the same IP values. If the MAC value is known, however, DHCP can be used to facilitate the location of print servers.

If you are unsure which method to use, you can use the front panel of the printer to set the TCP/IP values without a live network connection.

For bootp, arp, and NetBEUI/NetBIOS, the MAC address of the LineJet Print Server is required. If the LineJet Print Server is pre-installed, the MAC address can be obtained by using the LineJet printer diagnostic print test E-Net Test Page, or by using the printer control panel to view the MAC Address value in the ETHERNET PARAMS configuration submenu (see page 120 for details). In addition, a label attached to the rear of the printer shows the MAC address, which reads 00:80:72:xx:yy:zz. This value is also known as the “hardware address” or “ethernet address.”

The DHCP is useful to locate a print server. DHCP generally is not useful for using other than NetBEUI/NetBIOS, as most queueing mechanisms need to know the static location (IP address) of a printer, and with each DHCP power on cycle will likely change.
