Assign IP Address
Assign IP Address
Figure 131. Assign IP Address
Allows you to assign IP addresses remotely to NICs that have not been
previously configured, or to reconfigure the NIC settings. See Figure 131.
IMPORTANT
This utility requires expert network knowledge. If you assign incorrect
network parameters to the printer, then other devices on the network
may operate improperly, possibly causing the whole network to be
unusable.
The Assign IP Address utility has five fields:
•
Broadcast Address:
To enter a subnet broadcast number or a direct IP
address to find the printer.
•
Hardware Address:
To enter the Machine Access Code (MAC) on the
NIC.
•
New IP Address:
To assign the printer its new IP address. Make sure
this address is correct and do not enter an already existing IP address.
•
New Mask:
To enter the new mask address, if necessary. If you need the
same mask, type the mask number.
•
New Gateway:
To enter the gateway number the new printer uses.
Once you click
Assign
, the NIC settings change immediately.
NOTE:
To view the new settings on the operator panel, reset the NIC (refer to
the
Network Interface Card User’s Manual
) or reboot the printer: set
the power switch to O (Off), wait 15 seconds, then set the power
switch to I (On).
