Configuring The Network - Stratasys F170 User Manual

CONFIGURING THE NETWORK

This section is provided in case you need to change your network settings. Within the Network page you can set
your printer's address type to Static, Dynamic (DHCP), or Wi-Fi; Dynamic is selected by default.
• Static address - you must enter an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the printer
(provided by the system administrator). Once entered, the address will not change.
• Dynamic address (DHCP) - a network server or PC will generate an IP address for the printer. A
different IP address may be generated from time to time by the server or PC.
Wi-Fi address - the printer will scan for and allow you to connect to an available Wi-Fi network (if the
•
Wi-Fi dongle has been installed).
