Possible Problems With Dhcp Parameter Settings; Netbeui Networks - Ricoh C249 Service Manual

SETTING UP THE NIB FOR VARIOUS NETWORKS

Possible Problems with DHCP Parameter Settings

1. IP address conflicts with an another host
If the IP address conflicts with another host, the NIB does not show any errors.
However, the NIB cannot receive any print jobs, because the IP protocol is
disabled automatically at startup.
In this case, the other host in conflict with the NIB must have a manually assigned
IP address. Find the host using the PING and ARP commands, and assign a
suitable address.
2. IP address changes after restarting the machine
The DHCP server may lease a different IP address to the NIB if available IP
addresses become in short supply. As a result, the NIB cannot receive any print
jobs, because the jobs are sent to the previously assigned IP address.
To solve this problem, reserve an IP address at the DHCP server by allocating an
address to the NIB's Ethernet (MAC) Address.

1.4.2 NETBEUI NETWORKS

The following parameters are available for NetBEUI network printing.
In a Microsoft Windows network, the NIB appears like a computer host with a
printer connected.

The name of the workgroup to which the NIB belongs in
the Microsoft Windows network.
This appears in, for example, the "Network
Neighborhood" window to which the printer is connected.
Comment for the host.
Share name of the printer.
Enable this if notification is needed after printing (the
controller notifies the NIB, then the NIB notifies the client
PC).
