About the LAN cable
•
The machine does not come with a LAN cable or a hub.
Have cables or a hub ready as needed.
•
Use a Category 5 or higher twisted pair cable for the
LAN.
About obtaining the IP address automatically (AutoIP)
<DHCP> or <Auto IP> is enabled in the default setting.
Even if you do not set the IP address manually, this machine can
obtain it automatically.
•
Even if you do not have a dedicated device such as a DHCP server,
the IP address is obtained automatically.
•
The <DHCP> setting is prioritized over <Auto IP>.
If a fixed IP address is set as the IP address of the computer, set the
fixed IP address also for this machine manually.
If the IP address of the machine is changed
When the machine and computer are on the same subnet, the
connection is maintained.
