Dynamic Addressing (DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP)

 

If your printer is equipped with a Token Ring interface, prior to

 

connecting your printer to your network, use the section of this

 

document entitled Token Ring Interface Network Connection to

 

set the Ring Speed and Source Routing settings for your

 

environment. Then return to this procedure and follow the

 

instructions

 

The Document Centre supports two methods of Dynamic

 

Addressing:

 

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or BOOTP

 

RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)

 

The TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by a DHCP server.

 

Follow the steps below:

NOTE

 

By default, DHCP is enabled on the Document Centre. This

 

procedure will show you how to disable DHCP (or enable it if it

 

was disabled) and set your TCP/IP information using BOOTP or

 

RARP.

 

 

 

DHCP/BOOTP/RARP servers vary in the information that they

 

return to the device requesting service. Consult the documentation

 

supplied with your DHCP or RARP server software to verify what

 

TCP/IP information it can supply. Your Document Centre can

 

retrieve the following values from DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP

 

servers:

 

TCP/IP Address

 

Host Name (DHCP Only)

 

Subnet Mask

 

Gateway TCP/IP Address

 

Broadcast Address (DHCP only)

 

Domain Name (DHCP only)

 

Preferred and Alternate DNS Server (DHCP only)

 

Wins Server (DHCP only)
