CHAPTER 6
Configuring the GERBER EDGE FX via the Web Interface
Modifying Network Settings
The network settings of the GERBER EDGE FX allow you to send jobs to the printer or
communicate with the printer using the web interface. You can enter or modify the network
settings of the GERBER EDGE FX at the control panel or when installing the printer using
GSPTray. To change the network settings via the Network Settings web page you must have
already established a network connection with the GERBER EDGE FX. See “Connecting the
GERBER EDGE FX to your computer” on page 7.
By default the GERBER EDGE FX is set to use St
atic Settings. If you have a DHCP server on
your network, you can set the printer to use DHCP instead of static addresses. See “Using
DHCP” for details on setting up your GERBER EDGE FX using this option.
When setting up static addresses for the GERBER EDGE FX on a network, you must obtain the
IP Address, Network (Subnet) Mask, and Gateway from the network administrator or IT
department. A Gateway address is only used if you are communicating in a multiple local area
network (LAN) environment. A single network environment should leave the Gateway address
as set at the factory. Do not attempt to assign your own addresses.
The DNS Server is the IP address of the DNS (domain name server) if one is available. The
default DNS Server IP address is 0.0.0.0.
The SysLog Address is the IP address of the network syslog server. If this is not 0.0.0.0, all
messages logged in the printer's syslog buffer are also sent to the network syslog server at this
IP address.
The MAC (media access control) Address uniquely identifies the printer and is not editable.
CAUTION: Use care when entering addresses for the GERBER EDGE FX. Entering
incorrect addresses could damage the network.
CAUTION: The device ID number (last octet) of the GERBER EDGE FX IP Address
should not be the same address as any other computer or system on the network or
it will cause problems for the network.
To modify the network address settings
1 Open the GERBER EDGE FX web interface by entering the printer's IP address in the
Location or Address line of your web browser (for example: http://169.254.128.129).
The Welcome to GERBER EDGE FX screen displays.
2 Click the Network Settings link to open the Network Settings page.
