Setting Ethernet Communications 4-3
Setting the Boot Method
The boot method sets the way the device receives its IP address.
Select To
Static
Use if your network uses fixed configuration. The IP address remains the
same every time the device connects to the network.
DHCP
The network automatically assigns an IP address within a specified range
to a device when it is first turned on. A device could have a different IP
address every time it connects to the network.
Note: The 169.x.x.x IP address is a default address. If this IP address
appears on your printer, it indicates the DHCP request failed.
Default Network
The default network option allows you to reset the Ethernet/wireless module.
Select To
Default
Setting
Any defaults set using the SET DEFAULT Telnet console command are
restored.
Factory
Default
Reset the module to factory defaults.
See “Factory Defaults
” for the list of default values.
When the module is reset to factory defaults, you must reconfigure all
your specific network settings, including IP address, SSID, etc.
Note: Depending on your printer’s boot method, the IP address may be automatically
assigned when you turn on the printer. The new IP address may not be the same
as the previous one.
