Note: If your network uses any other address, it is likely your organisation is using
advanced networking protocols. Contact your IT department to request the
appropriate subnet mask figure.

Managing network devices.
To assist in management of devices on a network, Autocue recommends the freely available Bonjour
software which allows you to identify and locate devices on your network by name rather than IP address.
Bonjour software works in the background to automatically convert a name, for example ―Reception Printer‖,
into an IP address. When another device which has Bonjour installed searches the network for devices, the IP
address is provided, but displayed as the name.
Bonjour is compatible with Windows 2000/2003 and XP.
If you wish to install Bonjour, go to the following web address and download the application:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html
The web site will give you the option to Run or Save the application. We recommend you select Run. The
Bonjour application will automatically be installed on your computer.
The Bonjour file size is approximately 14 MB so you will need a good broadband connection to download
the file within a reasonable timeframe.
Once installed, Bonjour runs as an automatic service, and is available when you turn on your computer. There
is no requirement to configure the software so there is no GUI associated with the application.
