4 Network setup
This chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for setting up your
machine for network connections.
This chapter includes:
•Introduction
• Supported operating systems
• Configuring TCP/IP
• Configuring EtherTalk
• Configuring IPX frame types
• Setting Ethernet speed
• Restori ng the ne twork configu ra tion
• Printing a network configuration page
• Using SetIP program
Introduction
Once you have connected your machine to a network with an RJ-4 5
Ethernet cable, you can share the machine with other network users.
You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your
network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following tw o methods:
Via network administration programs
You can configure your machine’s print server settings and manage the
machine via the following programs that came with your machine:
•SyncThru™ Web Admin Service:W eb-based printer management
solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service
provides you with an efficient way of manageing network devices and
lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot ne twork machines from
any sith with corporate internet access. Download this program from
http://solution.samsungprinter.com.
•SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your network
print server, which allows you to:
- Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to
connect to various network envi ro nments.
- Customize e-mail settings and set up Address Bo ok for scanning
to email.
- Customize server settings and set up Address Book for scann ing
to an FTP or SMB servers.
- Customize printer, copy, and fax settings.
• SetIP: Utility program allowing you to select a network inte rface and
manually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.
See Using SetIP program on page 4.3
Via the control panel
You can set up the following basic network parameters through the
machine’s control panel:
• Configure TCP/IP
• Configure IPX frame types for NetWare
• Configure EtherTalk
Supported operating systems
The following table shows the network environments supported by the
machine:
• IPX/SPX: Internet Packet eXchange/Sequenced Packet eXchange
• TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
• BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol
Configuring TCP/IP
Your machine can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information,
such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses.
There are several ways in which your machine can be assigned a TCP/
IP address, depending on your network.
• St atic addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the
system administrator.
• Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP (default): A TCP/IP address is
assigned automatically by the server.
Note
Before configuring TCP/IP, you need to set the network protocol
to TCP/IP.
