Configuring the Printer for the Network with the Operation Panel
❖Subnet Mask
A number used to mathematically "mask" or hide an IP Address on the network by eliminating those parts of the address that are alike for all the printers on the network.
❖Gateway Address
A gateway is a connection or inter- change point that connects two networks. A gateway address is for the router or host computer used as a gateway.
Note
❒To obtain the above addresses, contact your network adminis- trator.
❖Access Control Address and Access Control Mask
The Access Control Address and Access Control Mask are used in combination with the client's IP Addresses that have access to the computer used for printing. If it is not necessary for you to control the access rights, select “0.0.0.0”.
Note
❒When the Access Control Ad- dress settings coincide with the masked result of the IP Address of the computer, print jobs from that IP Address can be accepted by the network interface board.
❒For example, if you assign 192.168.15.16 as the Access Con- trol Address to the network in- terface board, the combination of the Access Control Mask and IP Address that can have access are as follows. (xxx: for any nu- merical value)
