Network server setup requirements

This section provides basic information about configuring the CX3641MFP and using it
on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only
information specific to the CX3641MFP is presented. Setting up the network environment
correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the network administrator.
Detailed instructions for configuring networks is beyond the scope of this document. For
information, see your network documentation.
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection
before you configure CX3641MFP network settings in Setup. This allows the
CX3641MFP to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the CX3641MFP or network at your site, alter
the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port settings
may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well.

Windows networks

• The CX3641MFP requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them
dynamically. Make sure the CX3641MFP name and address are listed in a domain name
server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.
If more than one CX3641MFP print connection is published (for example, if both the Print
queue and the Hold queue are published), consider creating a printer for each print
connection, so that users can print to each connection directly.
• Configure the CX3641MFP with the correct Windows domain name.
This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing.
To use Microsoft Active Directory, you must assign the CX3641MFP to a domain. If you
assign the CX3641MFP to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory.
