Using Dhcp - Gestetner P7245 Hardware Manual

Using DHCP

You can use the printer in a DHCP environment. You can also register the print-
er NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running.
Note the following points when an Ethernet interface is simultaneously in-
stalled.
❖ When static IPv4 addresses are set for each interface
• IPv4 address: When set at the same value, the Ethernet interface is pre-
ferred.
• Subnet mask: When a value overlaps, the Ethernet interface is preferred.
• Gateway address: The value set is used. For the gateway address, set the
gateway address located in the subnetwork set by the interface. If the value
is outside the subnet range set by the interface, it operates as "0.0.0.0".
❖ When obtaining addresses from the DHCP server
• IP Address, Subnet Mask: you can configure addresses assigned by a
DHCP server. If IPv4 addresses overlap or the same subnet IP addresses
are selected, the effective value is assigned only to the prioritized interface.
Ethernet has default interface priority.
• AutoNet: A temporary IPv4 address starting with 169.254 and not used on
the network, is assigned to the prioritized interface.
• Gateway Address, DNS Server Address, and Domain Name: You can con-
figure the addresses assigned by DHCP to the prioritized interface.
If the gateway address is beyond the range of the subnet selected for the
interface, the printer operates using "0.0.0.0".
Ethernet has default interface priority.
