Setting a TCP/IP Address
Your DocuPrint N4525 printer can be set up on a variety of TCP/ IP networks. There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP address depending on your network.
■Static Addressing TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the System Administrator.
■Dynamic Addressing RARP/BOOTP TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.
■Dynamic Addressing DHCP (Dynamic Host Resolution Protocol) TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.
■
■
The printer supports Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS), whereby the printer supplies its name and the IP addresss it received from the DHCP server to the DNS server.
If no DHCP server responds with an IP address, the printer will assign itslf an IP address via Autonet from the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. Automatic IP address assignment may be diabled from the control panel, CentreWare Internet Services, or SNMP; however, the factory default for this feature is ON.
For setting a TCP/IP address, refer to the DocuPrint N4525 Printer Quick Network Install Guide. Determine which method is appropriate to use for your network and follow the steps of the procedure.
Setting a Sub Net Mask at the Control Panel
Note
Setting a Sub Net Mask can also be accomplished in CentreWare DP, CentreWare MC, or CentreWare IS. Refer to page 47 for more information.
If your printer is connected to a WAN (Wide Area Network), you may restrict user access by setting a Sub Net Mask. The IP Address Res menu item in the Ethernet Menu must be set to static before a Sub Net Mask can be set.

2.Press the Item keys (labeled 2 or 6) until you see:
Ethernet Menu Sub Net Mask
3.Press the Value keys (labeled 3 or 7). You should see:
Sub Net Mask = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
