Note:TCP/IP and HTTP should have been initially configured, refer to Enable TCP/IP and HTTP at the Device on page 19 of this guide.
IPv4
Note:To configure TCP/IP Settings access the Properties tab as a System Administrator. For details, refer to Access Internet Services as System Administrator on page 24.
1. From the Properties tab, click on the [Connectivity] link.
2. Click on the [Protocols] link.
3. Select [IP (Internet Protocol)] in the directory tree, the IP (Internet Protocol) page displays.
4. Ensure that [IPv4] is selected.
5. In the General area:
a. For Protocol, the [Enabled] checkbox be enabled.
Note:If the [Enabled] checkbox for Protocol is not checked, you will not be able to access Internet Services. TCP/IP must then be enabled from the device's user interface.
CAUTION:Disabling TCP/IP or changing the IP address will affect SLP, SNMP, NetBIOS/IP, Raw TCP/IP Printing, SMTP, LDAP, POP3, HTTP and NTP. If TCP/IP is disabled, Internet Services will not be available until TCP/IP is enabled from the device control panel. If you change the IP Address, you must reference the new address within your web browser to locate the device.
b. Physical Connection will display the physical network connection. This will display
“Ethernet”.
c. Select one of the following methods for obtaining a Dynamic IP address from the [IP Address Resolution] drop-down menu:
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
• RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol).
• BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol).
• STATIC (fixed, User-defined), this is the default selection.
d. Enter a name which corresponds to the IP Address of the device in the [Host Name] field.
e. If you select [Static], type the IP Addresses that applies in [Machine IP Address], [Subnet Mask], and [Gateway Address] fields.
Note:If BOOTP or DHCP address resolution mode is selected, you cannot change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, or default gateway. If RARP address resolution mode is selected, you cannot change the IP Address. Select [Static] if you wish to disable dynamic addressing.
f. Enter details of an identifier of the IP site to which the device is connected in the [Domain Name] field.
g. If DNS configuration is required, enter IP Address for the [Preferred DNS Server]. Enter an IP Address for [Alternate DNS Servers 1] and [Alternate DNS Servers 2].
Note:If DHCP or BOOTP is the IP Address Resolution setting, you cannot change the Domain Name, Primary DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server 1, and Alternate DNS Server 2 settings.
h. For Dynamic DNS Registration, check the [Enabled] checkbox to enable Dynamic DNS Registration (DDNS).
Note:If your DNS Server does not support dynamic updates there is no need to enable DDNS.
6. In the DHCP/DDNS area:
a. For Release Registration, check the [Enabled] checkbox, ONLY if you wish to release this device's IP Address upon reboot. Default is unchecked.
7. In the Zero-Configuration Networking area.
a. For Self Assigned Address, check the [Enabled] checkbox, to support communicating with other devices using 169.254/16 IPv4 addressing, over the same physical or logical link (such as in ad hoc, or isolated (non- DHCP) networks). Refer to the IETF website for zeroconf details.
b. For Multicast DNS, check the [Enabled] checkbox to resolve host names to IPv4 addresses without using a conventional DNS server.
8. Click on the [Apply] button to accept changes or [Undo] to return the settings to their previous value.
9. Click on the [OK] button when you see the message “Properties have been successfully modified”.
Note:Changing the device IP Address will impact other protocols: NetBIOS/IP, LPR/LPD, FTP, SNMP and Raw TCP/IP Printing. These protocols will need to reference the new IP Address.
Disabling TCP/IP will impact other protocols: NetBIOS/IP, LPR/LPD, FTP, SNMP and Raw TCP/IP Printing. This web user interface will be disabled until TCP/IP is re-enabled from the local user interface.
IPv6
Note:IPv6 is optional. It may be used in addition to, or in place of IPv4.
Note:To configure this feature or these settings access the Properties tab as a System
Administrator. For details, refer to Access Internet Services as System Administrator on page 24.
1. From the Properties tab, click on the [Connectivity] link.
2. Click on the [Protocols] link.
3. Select [IP (Internet Protocol)] in the directory tree, the IP (Internet Protocol) page displays.
4. Ensure that [IPv6] is selected.
5. In the General area:
a. For Protocol, check the [Enabled] checkbox to enable the TCP/IP protocol.
Note:If you do not check the [Enabled] checkbox for Protocol, you will not be able to access Internet Services. TCP/IP must then be enabled from the device's user interface.
Note:If you uncheck the [Enabled] checkbox for [Protocol], the Network Controller will reboot.
This may require several minutes, during which time all network services will be unavailable.
b. Enter a name which corresponds to the IP Address of the device in the [Host Name] field.
c. [Physical Connection] will display the physical network connection. This will display
“Ethernet”.
d. Enter details of an identifier of the IP site in which the device is connected in the [Domain Name] field.
6. In the Stateless Addresses area:
a. The Link-Local Address is automatically populated.
This is a network address which is intended only for use in a local data link layer network, and not routed beyond that network. Link-local addresses are often used for network address auto-configuration where no external source of network addressing information is available.
The printer's IPv6 local address is automatically generated, and displayed here. Link-local addresses always begin with “fe80”.
b. Check the [Use Router Supplied Prefixes] checkbox if router advertisements are used.
A router-supplied prefix is the 64-bit (sub-) network address. If routers are present, they will periodically send Router Advertisement packets containing address prefixes. These prefixes determine what sort of auto configuration can be done by the device. Select this setting to use Router Supplied Prefixes. When enabled, Global Addresses associated with this device are displayed. If there are no routers on the network, this setting can be disabled.
c. The [Global Addresses] will display any global addresses associated with the device. Global addresses are equivalent to public IPv4 addresses. They are globally routable and reachable on the IPv6 internet.
7. The device performs auto-address DHCP configuration every time it powers up. This is used for neighbour discovery and address resolution on the local IPv6 subnet.
However, you can choose to use manual configuration, automatic configuration or a combination of automatic and manual configuration.
Default Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Settings area:
a. Select one of the following options:
• Use DHCP as directed by a router - this option is fully automatic. The DHCPv6 Address will be obtained and displayed on the screen.
• Always Enable DHCP for address assignment and other configuration data - this option is fully automatic. The DHCPv6 Address will be obtained and displayed on the screen.
• Always Enable DHCP for other configuration data only - this is the semi-automatic configuration. The DHCPv6 Address will be obtained and displayed on the page.
• Never use DHCP - when this option is selected, you must configure the Manual Address Options and DNS separately.
b. If you select either [Use DHCP as directed by a router] or [Always Enable DHCP for address assignment and other configuration data] you have the option to enable the release of DHCPv6 Address at Power Down. This option instructs the printer to send a DHCP release message to the router when the device is powering-down. This releases the current DHCP configuration and discards the printer’s IP Address configuration.
To select this option check the [Release DHCPv6 Address at Power Down] checkbox for DHCPv6 Address.
8. In the DNS Configuration area:
a. Enter an IP Address for the [Preferred DNS Server]. Enter an IP Address for [Alternate DNS Server 1] and [Alternate DNS Server 2].
b. Check the [Prefer IPv6 Address over IPv4] checkbox to enable this option.
By default, the printer will prefer an IPv4 address over IPv6 address if both are enabled. For example, when querying the DNS, the printer will normally use the IPv4 address if an IPv6 address is also provided. By selecting this checkbox, this will change the preference to IPv6.
9. The Default Gateway will display the link-local address of the router (known in IPv4 as the default gateway).
10. The device can be configured with up to 4 manual IPv6 addresses, in the Manual Address Options area:
a. Check the [Enable Manual Address] checkbox to enable Router Prefix attachment.
b. The Router Prefix is derived from router advertisements. Select a router address prefix from the list supplied in the [Router Prefix] drop-down menu to populate the prefix for manual entry address.
c. Click on the [Add] button to add your address.
11. Click on the [Apply] button to accept changes or [Undo] to return the settings to their previous value.
12. Click on the [OK] button when you see the message “Properties have been successfully modified”.
