Entrust EM1 Installation And Administrator's Guide

16 Printer Installation
Set the Printer Network IP Address
You need the printer IP address to perform some tasks. For example, the XPS Card Printer Driver
asks you to enter the network IP address during installation. You also can launch the Printer
Dashboard by entering the printer IP address in a browser window.
To obtain either a USB or network IP address, print a test card from the front panel of the printer.
The printers IP address will be printed on the test card.
The card printers support both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. If your network environment uses IPv6
you can use Printer Dashboard to enable the IPv6 settings that manage the printer
communication over an Ethernet network. You do not need to make any configuration changes to
use IPv4. Refer to the Printer Dashboard Help for complete information.
Use IPv4 Addressing
When you use IPv4, the printer can use either of the following network communication methods:
 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—The network automatically assigns the IP
address to the printer. The IP address of a printer that uses DHCP can change if the printer is
powered off and back on.
 Static IP—You set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, as provided by your
network support personnel. A static IP address does not change when the printer is powered
off. Some sites may require that the printer has the same IP address at all times. Refer to “Set
a Static IPv4 Address” on page 16.
Set a Static IPv4 Address
The default communications method is DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If you need
to assign a static IP address, you can use Printer Dashboard to change the address method and
enter the address information.
Obtain the following values from your network support personnel. Make sure that you receive all
three values:
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Gateway address
You can set a static IP address on a printer even if it is not connected to the network.
For example, a group may set up several printers in a central location before installing
them at individual sites.
