2-6 Connecting to a network (Ethernet and Wi-Fi)
All BadgePass printers can be fitted with a TCP/IP network connection. Out of the box, the printer comes configured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which
means that its IP address is supplied by the network. In addition to these basic settings, the network administrator has the option of configuring the printer differently in order to
comply with the constraints imposed by the corporate LAN:
• Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP mode
• Printer connected to a subnet in fixed IP address mode, with WINS resolution
• Printer connected to a subnet in fixed IP address mode, without WINS resolution
The printer may be identified on the network in two ways:
• By its Hostname (NETBIOS)
• By its IP address.
In addition, the Ethernet connection wizard will automatically detect all installed BadgePass printers.
The user-definable settings are:
• IP address of the printer
• Subnetwork mask
• Gateway
• WINS server
BadgePass printers fitted with a TCP/IP network interface have an on-board http server.
Changing the printer's basic settings, without prior knowledge of the layout of the LAN in question or without genuine technical knowledge may result in a
malfunction of the printer, and may even extend to a more widespread failure of all or part of the LAN. Contact your System and Network Administrator
before connecting to or changing the settings for your local area network.
For further details, refer to the 'Configuration of BadgePass printers on a TCP/ IP (Ethernet) LAN' manual.
