TCP/IP protocols and functions

Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow users to gain
access to network connected resources.
The print server used on this KONICA MINOLTA product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocols.
TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol
can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows
following TCP/IP protocols are available on this KONICA MINOLTA product.
Note
• You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser).
See How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 16.
• For information about the security protocols, see Security protocols on page 32.
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP
By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.
Note
To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.
APIPA
If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the control panel of the machine or the BRAdmin Light)
or automatically (using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to MAC address in a TCP/IP network.
DNS client
The KONICA MINOLTA print server supports the Domain Name System (DNS) client function. This function
allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
NetBIOS name resolution
Network Basic Input/Output System name resolution enables you to obtain the IP address of the other device
using its NetBIOS name during the network connection.
WINS
Windows Internet Name Service is an information providing service for the NetBIOS name resolution by
consolidating an IP address and a NetBIOS name that is in the local network.
