Ip Address Persistence; Password Security; Web Browser; Quick Setup Wizard - Kyocera KM-1530 Quick Configuration Manual

When the printer is turned off and back on will the IB-2x retain its IP address?
If a temporary address is obtained from the DHCP server, an IP address is set tempo-
rarily. That is, when the printer is turned off and back on, the IB-2x does not begin using its IP address
until it has negotiated with a DHCP server. Thus, if a DHCP server is not available, the IB-2x will not
have an IP address. This is necessary to prevent IP address conflicts in a DHCP environment.
If an unlimited lease or address reservation is obtained from a DHCP server, or if set by
any method other than DHCP, then the IP address is permanent. This means that the initially set IP
address will be applied even after the printer is turned off and restarted.
While this guide focuses on the initial configuration of the IB-2x, this section is included to give a brief
explanation of security and available options for ongoing IB-2x management.
An Admin password is used to control unauthorized modification of IB-2x settings. The factory default is
a blank Admin password. Unless an Admin password is defined, anyone with access through a web
browser or any of the IB-2x utilities may change the IB-2x settings. Therefore, defining an Admin
password is recommended.
If the Admin password is forgotten, the only way to recover is to reset the IB-2x back to its
factory default condition (by using a jumper setting as described in Troubleshooting of the User's
Manual contained as an html format in the CD-ROM (Kyocera Mita Network Library or Kyocera Mita
Software Library) supplied with this product).
If the IB-2x is used on a TCP/IP network and has a valid IP address, it may be managed from any web
browser. The browser allows full configuration of all IB-2x settings, however, unlike the Quick Setup
wizard, the browser cannot create NetWare print objects. If a browser is used for NetWare configura-
tion, then NWAdmin must also be used to create the NetWare print objects.
Connect to the IB-2x with a web browser by entering the IP address as the URL, e.g. http://
206.129.6.54
The home page displays basic information about the printer/copier and the IB-2x as well as the current
status of the printer and the current printer front panel display. When you click the Refresh button, the
message display shown on the browser will be updated.
Select a category from the navigation bar on the left to view and set values for that category. If the IB-2x
Admin password has been set, you will be prompted to enter a user name and password when
entering any screens where values may be modified. For user name enter any name, including blank.
If no Admin password has been set, access to all other pages is unrestricted. The Admin password may
be defined on the Security tab.
The Windows-based Quick Setup wizard is designed for fast and easy initial configuration. It does not
include all possible IB-2x settings, however, for changing the basic settings, it is also convenient for
followup configuration. For more information, see Using the Quick Setup Wizard earlier in this guide.
