3-4. Assigning an IP Address to the Server
3-4-1. Preliminary
If you have a DHCP server on your network, your Server will receive an IP address automatically. The
IP address will then appear on the Control Center or on the page of configuration report. If your DHCP
server does not give an IP address to the Server, the Server will use the Factory IP address.
If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to manually set the Server’s IP address.
Ethernet Address
You do not need to know the Ethernet address of your Server for assigning an IP address to it. The Control
Center can automatically search Servers and list their Ethernet addresses.
IP Address
Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an unused IP address from your
network administrator.
Methods for Setting the IP Address
You can set the IP address of your Server using one of the following methods, depending on your network
operating environment:
Automatic IP Address Assignment
Manual IP Address Assignment
Server Names and Server Name Rules
The default server name of the Server is “WLAN PrintServe/LAN PrintServer”. If you put two or more Servers
in your local area network, to avoid using the same server names you have to change the server names by
using the Control Center or the Server’s web pages. If your server name is longer than 15 characters, the
Server uses only the first 15 characters.
