• [Dual Stack] (default)
Both the IPv4 and IPv6 modes can be used.
IPv4 Settings Sets the IPv4 settings
Get IP
Address
Sets the method of obtaining the information (IP address, subnet mask,
or gateway address) required to use the TCP/IP protocol.
• [DHCP/Autonet] (default)
Automatically obtains information from a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server that has the AutoIP feature.
•[STATIC]
Sets the information manually on the control panel. Consult your
network administrator for the IP address.
• [DHCP]
Automatically obtains the information from the DHCP server.
• [BOOTP]
Automatically obtains the information from the BOOTP.
•[RARP]
Automatically obtains the information from the RARP.
Note
• When [DHCP/Autonet], [DHCP], [BOOTP], and [RARP] is changed
to [STATIC], a screen for setting the IP address is sometimes
displayed. Manually set the IP address when this screen is
displayed.
IP Address,
Subnet
Mask,
Gateway
Address
Allows you to verify the automatically acquired IP address or manually
enter the IP address.
Enter the IP address in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Any number from 0
to 255 can be set for each xxx in the IP and gateway addresses.
However, the initial xxx cannot be 127 or any number from 224 to 255.
For subnet masks, each xxx must be one of the following numbers: 0,
128, 192, 224, 240, 248, 252, 254, and 255. *2 (See P. 171.)
Important
• Make sure that you set the IP address correctly. Setting the wrong
address can cause problems on the network.
• If the correct address is not entered in the subnet mask (e.g. 0 is set
in bits midway), the previous setting is restored to even if you press
the <Menu> button after the number is set. You cannot configure
other items until the correct value is set.
• Set the gateway address only when it must be clearly indicated. This
setting is not required in environments where the gateway address is
automatically set.
