Select protocol
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP [DHCP]
This option appears only if you answered Yes to Enable Auto IP Configuration. Select
the protocol over which the Pi6500 Pro should search for its IP address. Both DHCP
and BOOTP allow the Pi6500 Pro to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask
automatically. RARP obtains only the Ethernet IP address.
Depending on your network, the Pi6500 Pro might be assigned a different address
after you reboot the Pi6500 Pro. With the DHCP setting, the Pi6500 Pro can be
assigned a different address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already
configured properly for the protocol you select.
IP Address
[127.0.0.1]
Enter the Pi6500 Pro IP address for Ethernet. This IP address, unlike an IP address set
automatically, remains the same if you reboot the Pi6500 Pro. You must change the
default to a valid address for your network.
Subnet Mask
[255.255.255.0]
This option lets you modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP over Ethernet.
The subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 by default. To set the subnet mask, enter one
of the following values:
•
255.0.0.0
•
255.255.0.0
• 255.255.255.0
Confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator before
