Keyspan:4-Port Print Server - User Manual
Network tab: IP Address Assignment
The IP Address Assignment pop-up allows you to change how
the 4-Port Print Server obtains its network settings (ie IP address,
Subnet Mask, etc.).
Using Default (default setting): In this mode, the 4-Port Print
Server will try to get an IP address via DHCP first. If it fails to
obtain an IP address within 10 seconds, it will assign itself an IP
address via Zeroconfig. This is the recommended setting for most
users.
Using DHCP: In this mode, the 4-Port Print Server will
automatically obtain an address via DHCP server. Use this setting
if you only want to use an IP address obtained via a DHCP server
(ie a DSL router, etc.).
Using Zeroconfig: In this mode, the 4-Port Print Server will
assign itself an IP address via the Zeroconfig protocol. Use this
setting if you are in a network where you only want to use
Zeroconfig IP addresses.
Tech Note:Zeroconfig: Zeroconfig (aka Zeroconf) is a networking protocol
that allows computers to automatically find each other without the need for you
to enter IP addresses, configure DNS servers, or setup DHCP. You can get
more information about ZeroConf at http://www.zeroconf.org/ and
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/rendezvous/
Please note that computers using Zeroconfig can only communicate with each
other when they are on the same Ethernet segment (ie all Zeroconfig
computers are connected to same Ethernet hub).
Manually: In this mode, you will manually enter your IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address. Use this mode if you want
your 4-Port Print Server to always use the same network settings.
Network tab: IP Address/Subnet Mask/ Gateway
The 4-Port Print Server will show its current network configuration
in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields. You can
only enter data in these fields if you have the IP Address
Assignment pop-up set to Manually.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All of the the fields (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway) must be filled in. Your server will not be able to communicate with
your network if it is missing any of this information.
This User Manual applies to the Keyspan 4-Port Print Server Software Version 1.3.x. Patent Pending.
