The configuration process 17
Assigning an IP address to the digital sender
The easiest method for assigning an IP address to the digital sender
is by entering it directly at the control panel. You can also assign an
IP address using a DHCP or BOOTP server. You might be more
familiar with assigning IP addresses to network devices from a DHCP
or BOOTP server. In this scenario, you prepare the device attached
to the network, make an entry for it on the DHCP or BOOTP server,
and then turn the device on. The HP JetDirect print server (network
interface card) inside the HP Digital Sender 8100C picks up its IP
information from the DHCP or BOOTP server.
Note You can let the digital sender time out to a default IP address. In fact,
this happens automatically if you do not manually assign an IP address
at the control panel within the timeout period of 2 minutes.
The default IP address is not a valid address. You must change the
address to one of your own assignment. You can use the control panel
to do this at any time.
