Ricoh AP2610N setup guide Using Dhcp, Using AutoNet

Precautions

Using DHCP

You can use the printer under a DHCP environment. You can also register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running.

Limitation

❒DHCP cannot be used with IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394). Set a fixed IP address with the control panel, telnet or a Web browser.

•See the Setup Guide.

•See p.93 “TCP/IP address”.

•See p.78 “Configuring the Network Interface Board Settings”.

Note

❒Printers that register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server must be configured for the WINS server. See p.105 “WINS”.

❒Supported DHCP server is Windows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 4 or later, Windows 2000 Server and NetWare 5.

❒If you do not use the WINS server, reserve the printer's IP address in the DHCP server so that the same IP address is assigned every time.

❒DHCP relay-agent is not supported. If you use DHCP relay-agent on a net-

work via an ISDN line, it will result in expensive line charges. This is because
your computer connects to the ISDN line whenever a packet is transferred	7
from the printer.

Using AutoNet

If the printer IP address is not assigned by a DHCP server automatically, a tem- porary IP address starting with 169.254 which is not used on the network can be selected automatically by the printer.

Note

❒The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is given priority to that selected by AutoNet.

❒You can confirm the current IP address on the configuration page. For more information about the configuration page, see the Printer Reference.

❒When AutoNet is running, the NetBIOS name is not registered on the WINS server.
