In this process, you first set the print server’s IP address, subnet, and gateway. You can also enter these settings through the printer’s front panel; see “Network Menu” in the on-line Desktop User’s Guide.

!If DHCP is active, the printer obtains an IP address when it is turned on. If you are using OkiNet Connect IP Monitor, you may not need to set a permanent IP address.

Next you either configure a Windows server for queue-based printing, or configure workstations for point-to-point direct printing.

IP Address Resolution—Select One:

•Set Permanent (static IP)

Select this option to make the IP address permanent. If the OkiLAN 6200e has been configured to remember its IP address, it does not need to determine its address each time it is powered on.

Enter the IP address for the OkiLAN 6200e (format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX , where XXX = number from 0 to 255).

!If you select an invalid IP address, you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6200e.

or

•Use Network Protocol

Select this option to use RARP, BOOTP or DHCP to determine the IP address at power up. Specify which protocol(s) to use.

Subnet Mask

If your network environment includes subnets, you will want to set the subnet mask (format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where XXX = number from 0 to 255).

!The default subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. The OkiLAN 6200e interprets a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 as no subnet mask specified.

!If you select an invalid subnet mask, you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6200e.
