Using Dhcp - Ricoh C23535 Operating Instructions Manual

Using DHCP

You can use the printer in a DHCP en-
vironment. You can also register the
printer NetBIOS name on a WINS
server when it is running.
If you connect an Ethernet interface
and IEEE 1394 (IPv4 over 1394) inter-
face simultaneously, pay attention to
the following:
❖ When a static IPv4 address is set for
both interfaces
• IPv4 Address: If interface IPv4
addresses overlap, the Ethernet
interface is selected.
• Subnet Mask: If interface subnet
masks overlap, the Ethernet in-
terface is selected.
• Gateway Address: The selected
value is applied. Make the gate-
way address setting inside the
subnet set in the interface. If a
value is beyond the range of the
subnet selected by the interface,
the machine operates using
"0.0.0.0".
❖ When obtaining addresses from the
DHCP server
• IP Address, Subnet Mask: you
can configure addresses as-
signed by a DHCP server. If IP
addresses overlap or the same
subnet IP addresses are select-
ed, the effective value is as-
signed only to the prioritized
interface. Ethernet has default
interface priority.
• AutoNet: A temporary IPv4 ad-
dress starting with 169.254 and
not used on the network, is as-
signed to the prioritized inter-
face.
Default interface priority is
IEEE 1394 (IPv4 over 1394).
• Gateway Address, DNS Server
Address, and Domain Name:
You can configure the addresses
assigned by DHCP to the prior-
itized interface.
If the gateway address is be-
yond the range of the subnet se-
lected for the interface, the
m a c h i n e o p e r a t e s u s i n g
"0.0.0.0".
Ethernet has default interface
priority.
❖ When there are static IP addresses
and addresses assigned by DHCP
• IPv4 Address and subnet mask:
if a static IPv4 address is the
same as an address assigned by
DHCP, or the static subnet
mask address and the subnet
m a s k a d d r e s s a s s i g n e d b y
DHCP overlap, the machine
uses the static IPv4 address in-
terface. The interface with the
DHCP setting is set by default.
• Gateway Address: operates using
the address entered manually.
If a static address is not selected,
or is set to 0.0.0.0, the interface
using the address assigned by
DHCP is used.
Note
❒ Printers that register the printer
NetBIOS name on a WINS server
must be configured for the WINS
server.
❒ Supported DHCP servers are Mi-
crosoft DHCP Server included
with Windows 2000 Server, Win-
dows Server 2003, and Windows
NT 4.0, and the DHCP server in-
cluded with NetWare and UNIX.
