Toshiba GA-1040 Protocol Setup Enable Auto IP Enable/Disable Enable, IP Address, Subnet Mask

22-13 Protocol Setup

Enable Auto IP

Enable/Disable [Enable]

You can allow the GA-1040 to obtain its Ethernet IP address by searching the network. Depending on your network and the protocol you select in the following option (DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP), the IP address can change. If you do not enable this option, proceed to the IP Address option and set a static IP address, which will not change.

Select protocol

Auto/DHCP/BOOTP/RARP [DHCP]

This option is valid only if you enabled Auto IP. Select the protocol over which the GA-1040 should search for its IP address. Both DHCP and BOOTP allow the GA-1040 to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask automatically. RARP obtains only the Ethernet IP address.

Depending on your network, the GA-1040 might be assigned a different address after you reboot the GA-1040. With the DHCP setting, the GA-1040 can be assigned a different address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already configured properly for the protocol you select.

IP Address

Enter the GA-1040 IP address for Ethernet. This IP address, unlike an IP address set automatically, remains the same if you reboot the GA-1040. You must change the default to a valid address for your network.

Subnet Mask

This option lets you modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP over Ethernet. To set the subnet mask, enter one of the following values:

•255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128

•255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191

•255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191

NOTE: Confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator before proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those listed.
