5.2.2. FastPrint Server IP address

The FastPrint Server is normally assigned a static IP address. (You may use either
FPSAdmin or WebAdmin to do this.)

You may also use FTP to assign an IP address. However, some host configuration will be
necessary to allow connection to a FastPrint Server without an IP address. See IP
address configuration
on page 25 for details.

If you leave the FastPrint Server IP address at the default value of 0.0.0.0, its sequence
for finding an address is as follows:

1. DHCP

2. BOOTP

3. RARP

See “Dynamic IP address Configuration” on page 26 for more details.

5.2.3. Other configuration settings

When assigning the IP addresses, you should also check the following configuration
settings.

Device name
(0001 BOX_NAME)

The default name will be in the form SCxxxxxx
(SC followed by 6 numbers).

Note: The default FastPrint name begins

with the letters “SC”, followed by 6
hexadecimal characters, These
characters may include the numbers “0”
through “9” and the letters “A” through
“F”.
You can find this name on the bar code
label on the bottom of the FastPrint.

If you rename your FastPrint, the new name
must not be longer than 19 characters, and
must not include any spaces.

TCP session retry interval
(4010 TCP_INT)

Indicates the length of time the FastPrint
should wait before retrying a TCP/IP
connection that has been lost.
By default, this is set to two seconds. You may
enter a value from 0 to 255 seconds.

TCP session retry count
(4011 TCP_CNT)

Indicates the number of attempts at
reconnection that will be made. After that, the
TCP/IP session will be terminated.
By default, this is set to 254. You may enter a
value from 0 to 255.
