Setting the TCP/IP protocol (IPv4)

You can set the TCP/IP protocol that is commonly used for most network system. It is recommended that the TCP/IP
protocol be configured because TopAccess, the web-based device management utility, and e-Filing, the web-based utility
that allows you to manage files in e-Filing, will be available with the TCP/IP protocol. In addition, other network features of
this equipment use the TCP/IP protocol.
In the TCP/IP menu, you can select the addressing mode, and assign the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (if
manually assigned).
How the TCP/IP protocol is configured depends on the network configuration of your network.
yWhen you assign the TCP/IP using the Auto-IP addressing or DHCP server:
If you do not know how the TCP/IP settings should be assigned, you can select the dynamic addressing mode. When
the dynamic addressing mode is selected, this equipment will obtain the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway,
primary WINS server address, secondary WINS server address, POP3 server address, and SMTP server address
from the DHCP server if the network supports the DHCP. If the network does not support the DHCP, this equipment will
assign the appropriate IP address using the auto-IP addressing. However, the auto-IP addressing may not work
properly when the router is placed in the network.
yWhen you assign the TCP/IP using only the DHCP server:
If your local area network has been configured with the DHCP server and you do not want to enable the auto-IP
addressing, you can select the no auto-IP addressing mode. When the no auto-IP addressing mode is selected, the IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway, primary WINS server address, secondary WINS server address, POP3 server
address, and SMTP server address will be automatically obtained from the DHCP server, and the auto-IP addressing
will be disabled. To enable the DHCP addressing only, please configure the TCP/IP settings as described in the
following procedure.
yWhen you connect to a local area network where static IP addresses are used:
If your local area network has been configured with a static IP address, you must assign the specific IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway as required.
