Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included
a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify
the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.
As with RARP, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.
DHCP mode
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address
allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network (typically a UNIX
®
, Windows
®
2000/XP network) the
print server automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001
and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
Note
If you do not want your print server to be configured using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT
METHOD to static, this will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these
systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the control panel, Web browser or by using the BRAdmin
application.
IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If the BOOT Method is set to Static, enter the IP
address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network manager for the IP address to use).
If you have selected a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using
the DHCP, RARP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine will probably be incompatible
with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact your network
manager for the correct IP address settings.
