For information on how to configure your machine for a network using the BRAdmin Light utility, see Setting
up the IP address and subnet mask
on page 12
.

Using DHCP to configure the IP address

A

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address
allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address
from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

Note

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT
METHOD to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from
trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the
BRAdmin Light utility.
