Epson EpsonNet 10/100 Base Tx Int. 5e Manual page 101

Note:
❏ The network administrator must check any changes made to the
IP address settings.
❏ When Auto is selected, an IP address can be acquired via
DHCP. To use the DHCP server, make sure it is installed on
your computer and correctly configured. See your operating
system's online help for detailed instructions.
❏ If Set Using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
is enabled, a private IP address is automatically assigned to the
network interface even when there are no DHCP servers on
your system or your network.
❏ If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend
that you select Manual and then enter an IP address. This is
because if you select Auto, the IP address of the network
interface changes every time you turn on the device so that you
need to change the printer port setting accordingly.
5. To assign an IP address manually, enter the IP address, the
subnet mask, and the default gateway. Be sure the IP address
does not conflict with any other devices on the network.
Note:
If there is a server or a router functioning as a gateway, enter the IP
address of the server or the router for the gateway address. If there
is no gateway, leave the default values there.
6. If you want to get a private address between 169.254.1.1 and
169.254.254.254 automatically when an IP address cannot be
obtained by the DHCP server, select Enable for Set Using
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA); otherwise, select
Disable.
7. When setting an IP address using the ping command, select
Enable for Set Using PING. Select Disable when setting an
IP address with EpsonNet Config; this prevents any
unexpected change of the IP address.
