Assigning TCP/IP Information

Automatically (Advanced)

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several

automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a

DHCP Server in your network (typically a Unix/Linux or Windows

2000, XP network) the Print/Scan server will automatically obtain its

IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC

1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

If you do not want your Print/Scan server configured via

DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD

to static so that the Print/Scan server has a static IP address.

This will prevent the Print/Scan server from trying to obtain

an IP address from any of these systems. To change the

BOOT METHOD, use the machine's control panel or the

BRAdmin Professional utility.

With Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), DHCP clients

automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a

DHCP server is not available. The device chooses it's own IP

address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The

subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway

address is set to 0.0.0.0.

By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled.

To disable APIPA, refer to page 3-14.
