TCP/IP Networks

This procedure addresses a basic TCP/IP communication problem, and assumes that the printer is powered on and connected to a properly functioning network port using the correct cabling.

To troubleshoot a TCP/IP Network:

1Print a Configuration Report from your printer using CentreWare Internet Services or CentreWare Printer Admin Services and check the TCP/IP parameters. See Chapter 2 Network Software for details on printing Configuration, and other, reports.

Note: If you are not able to print a Configuration Report from your workstation, power off and power on the copier/printer. Allow at least 30 seconds between powering off and powering on the printer. A Configuration Report will print.

2Review the TCP/IP area of the Configuration Report.

3Verify that the following information is set correctly:

Host Name (if you are using a UNIX network, the Host Name is case sensitive)

IP Address

Subnet Mask

￿Default Gateway Broadcast Address.

4Any one of these TCP/IP parameters, if set incorrectly, can cause TCP/IP communication problems. The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are critical on multi-network segment LANs or WANs.
