Using Dhcp - Ricoh Aficio SP W2470 Software 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 installed.
❖ 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 inter-
face priority.
Ethernet has default interface priority.
❖ When there are static IPv4 addresses and addresses assigned by DHCP
• IPv4 Address and subnet mask: if a static IPv4 address is the same as an
address assigned by DHCP, or the static subnet mask address and the sub-
net mask address assigned by DHCP overlap, the printer uses the static
IPv4 address interface. The interface with the DHCP setting is set by de-
fault.
