IP Assignments for Initial Contact: Static IP Assignment Using the IMCU

•MAC Address

•Name (= Host Name - not changeable from within the IMCU; see instructions in “Host Name” [page 104])

•Six settable parameters from the “TCP/IP” sub-group: three fields to fill out (IP Address; Subnet mask; Gateway) and three check-box fields: RARP, BOOTP and DHCP.

7Fill out the fields: a IP address.

b If it is not possible for the print server to obtain the mask from the network, you must type in a Subnet Mask.

c If automatic routing (RIP) is not used in your environment, type in the Default Gateway.

8Make sure the BOOTP and RARP protocols are disabled (unchecked).

9If you will are only using the IP address as a stepping stone to DHCP, enable DHCP.

10Conclude your work by clicking “Save and reboot”. You will receive a confirmation message.

If you will be continuing your configuration without delay, you have two choices.

Return to the “Device List” using the browser’s “back” button or the “Device List” icon. Find your print server and double-click on the “IP address” instead of the “MAC address”. This will open a new browser instance attached to the Intermate1xx. Log in from there. This is usually the best choice.

The alternative is to actually use the IMCU as a complete con- figuration tool. Choose “Advanced” from the “Device Configu- ration” window. The resulting screen (after a login) contains links to all configuration pages, but the menu points have no grouping. And there are no links to status or action pages, help or contacts. This method should probably only be used if you have a lot of experience configuring the Intermate1xx.
