Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server:
This option enables or disables the DHCP feature of the print server. When this option is enabled, the print server will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server on your LAN. The default value is “Disable”.
Note: 1. Once this option is enabled, the following IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway will be grayed out and are not available for editing.
2.While the print server supports DHCP, we strongly recommend you manually specify a fixed IP address to the print server.
Specify an IP address:
IP Address: This option shows the print server’s current IP address maybe obtained from your DHCP server or manually specified. This option also allows you to manually specify an IP address to the print server, if DHCP option is disabled.
Subnet Mask: This option shows the print server’s current subnet mask maybe obtained from the DHCP server or manually specified. This option also lets you manually specify a subnet mask to the print server, if DHCP option is disabled. This value is optional.
Gateway: This option shows the print server’s current gateway address maybe obtained from the DHCP server or manually specified. The option also allows you to manually specify the IP address of the gateway to the print server, if DHCP option is disabled. This value is optional
