IBM 24, 24PS Setting IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Addresses

Setting IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Addresses
This section describes how to set the IP, subnet mask, or gateway address. To change
the MAC address, refer to “Setting the Locally Administered MAC Address (LAA)” on
page 204.
To set an IP, subnet mask, or gateway address for the printer, perform these steps:
1. Press the Online key to take the printer OFFLINE.
2. Press the Menu key until the operator panel displays ETHERNET MENU (or
TOKEN RING MENU).
3. Press the Item key until the operator panel displays the desired address to change,
for example:
ETHERNET MENU
IP ADDRESS
Note: The values that may be shown on the second line of the above example
are:
IP ADDRESS
SUBNET MASK
GATEWAY ADDRESS
4. Press the Enter key. For a new printer whose IP address has not yet been set,
the operator panel displays:
IP ADDRESS
ð<ð.ð.ð \
The “<” indicates the field whose value you can change at this point.
5. Press the Value key. The asterisk (*) goes away and the value is incremented by
one. The range of the address values is zero to 255.
6. Press the Value key until the desired value is displayed, then press Enter to set
the value. The “<” moves to the next value, for example:
1ð.ð<ð.ð
7. Press the Value key until the desired value is displayed, then press the Enter key.
8. Repeat step 7 until all four values have been set, then press the Enter key to set
the address. The value has been set if an asterisk (*) displays to the right of the
value, for example:
9.99.4ð.2 \
9. Press the Online button to display the Ready message. The panel displays the
message I/O Initializing and the new addresses are written to non-volatile
memory. (This is where the addresses are stored. Non-volatile memory maintains
information when the printer is powered off.) This process takes a few minutes, do
not power off the printer while the message I/O Initializing is displayed.
