TCP/IP protocol information

Message

Description

Status

The current TCP status:
Ready: The print server is waiting for data over TCP/IP.
Disabled: TCP/IP was manually disabled.
Initializing: The print server is searching for the BOOTP
server or trying to get the configuration file through TFTP. An
additional status message might also display.

Note

If the print server is not ready, an error code and message
displays.

Host Name

The host name configured on the print server. The host name
might be truncated.
Not Specified: No host name was specified in a BOOTP
response or TFTP configuration file.
NPIxxxxxx: The default name is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is
the last six digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address.

IP Address

The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to the print
server. This is a required entry for its operation on a TCP/IP
network. During initialization, a temporary value of 0.0.0.0
displays. After two minutes, a default IP address of
192.0.0.192 is assigned, which might not be a valid IP
address for your network.
Not Specified: An IP address is not assigned or the value is
zero.

Subnet Mask

The IP subnet mask configured on the print server. During
initialization, a temporary value of 0.0.0.0 displays. Depending
on the configuration parameters, the print server might
automatically assign a usable default value.
Not Specified: A subnet mask is not configured.

Default Gateway

The IP address of the gateway used when sending packets off
of the local network. You can only configure one default
gateway. During initialization, a temporary value of 0.0.0.0
displays. If an IP address is not provided, the print server’s IP
address is used.
Not Specified: A default gateway is not configured.
