Using DHCP to Configure the IP address

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP
address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in your network (typically a Unix, Windows NT
or Novell Netware network) the print server will automatically obtains its IP address from
DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name
services.
Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set
the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP
address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the print front panel
(for those printers that have a LCD panel, TELNET (using the SET IP METHOD command),
Web browser or by using the BRAdmin32 application.
Select the "Device" menu and choose the "Setup Unconfigured Device".
Select the MAC address of your print server and click the Configure button.
Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (If needed) of your print server.
Click OK then select Close.
