Epson EMP 7900 Network Manual page 33

Note:
❏ The network administrator must check any changes made to the IP address
settings.
❏ When Auto is selected, DHCP becomes available. A DHCP server/router
must be available on your network.
❏ If Set Using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is enabled, a private
IP address is automatically assigned to the network interface even when
there are no DHCP servers on your network.
❏ If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend that you select
Manual and then enter an IP address. This is because if you select Auto, the
IP address of the network interface changes every time you turn on the printer
so that you need to change the printer port setting accordingly.
5. To assign an IP address manually, enter the IP address, the subnet mask,
and the default gateway. Be sure the IP address does not conflict with any
other devices on the network.
Note:
If there is a server or a router functioning as a gateway, enter the IP address of
the server or the router for the gateway address. If there is no gateway, leave the
default values.
6. If you want to get a private address between 169.254.1.1 and
169.254.254.254 automatically when an IP address cannot be obtained by
the DHCP server, leave the Set Using Automatic Private IP Addressing
(APIPA) setting set to Enable; otherwise, select Disable.
7. When setting an IP address using the ping command, select Enable for
Set Using PING. Select Disable when setting an IP address with
EpsonNet Config; this prevents any unexpected change of the IP address.
8. Select Enable for Acquire DNS Server Address Automatically if you
want to acquire the DNS server address using the DHCP server.
If you want to enter the DNS server address manually, select Disable and
then enter the IP address of the DNS server.
9. Select Enable for Acquire Host Name and Domain Name
Automatically if you want to acquire the host name and the domain name
using the DHCP server.
If you want to specify manually, enter the host name and the domain name
in the text boxes.
