Configuration : TCP/IP

Configure the TCP/IP-related settings for the Network Interface Board, 802.11b Interface Unit, and 1394 Interface Unit.

• Among the items shown, the relevant items for the 1394 Interface Unit with IP over 1394 are as follows:
  • Default Gateway Address
  • Access Control Range
  • DNS Server From DHCP
  • DNS Server (DHCP)
  • DNS Server
  • SNMP, LPR, RSH/RCP, DIPRINT, FTP, IPP
  • IPP Timeout

Device Name:
Shows the name of the Network Interface Board or 802.11b Interface Unit. The factory default is "RNP" followed by the last 6 characters of the MAC address of the Network Interface Board or 802.11b Interface Unit. For example, a Network Interface Board with a MAC address of 00:00:74:62:5C:65 would be named RNP625C65.

• If an IEEE 1394 Interface Unit has ever been installed, the default may be set as "RNP" followed by the last 10 characters of the EUI-64 of the 1394 Interface Unit.

Domain Name:
Input the name of the domain set for the Network Interface board or 802.11b Interface Unit. Use up to 63 alphanumeric characters.
When using DHCP, the domain name acquired from the DHCP server is shown.

Protocol:
Shows whether TCP/IP is enabled or disabled.

IP Address:
Input the IP address of the Network Interface Board or 802.11b Interface Unit.
If DHCP is turned on, the IP address acquired from the DHCP server is shown.

Subnet Mask:
Input the subnet mask of the Network Interface Board or 802.11b Interface Unit. This is used to set a portion of an IP address as a network address.
If DHCP is turned on, the mask acquired from the DHCP server is shown.

Default Gateway Address:
Input the address of the default gateway which is the host/router used to the communicate with other networks.
If DHCP is turned on, the address acquired from the DHCP server is shown.

Access Control Range:
The Access Control function limits access (such as printing) to the Network Interface Board or 802.11b Interface Unit according to the IP address of the requesting workstation.
To use this function, input the range of addresses permitted access [Access Control Range 1] to [Access Control Range 5]. A range can be set in any box. A maximum of five ranges can be specified. Addresses outside these ranges are denied access.

• When you do not specify all five ranges, set [0.0.0.0]-[0.0.0.0] for the ones left unused.
• When all five ranges are set to [0.0.0.0]-[0.0.0.0], this function is disabled and all workstations are permitted access.
• Protocols, such as telnet and web, are not subject to this limitation.

Network Boot:
Choose "DHCP" to have network settings acquired automatically from a DHCP server. Choose "NONE" to configure network settings manually.

DNS Server From DHCP:
When using DHCP, choose [Enable] to automatically acquire the IP address of the DNS server from the DHCP server.

• If [Enable] is selected, the servers are accessed in the order of [DNS Server (DHCP1)], [DNS Server (DHCP2)], and [DNS Server 1]. The DNS server that can be communicated with first is used. [DNS Server 2] and [DNS Server 3] will not be used.
• If [Disable] is selected, the servers are accessed in the order of [DNS Server 1], [DNS Server 2], and [DNS Server 3]. The DNS server that can be communicated with first is used.

DNS Server (DHCP):
Shows the IP address of the DNS server acquired from the DHCP server. This is shown when using DHCP and [Enable] is set for [DNS Server From DHCP].

DNS Server:
Shows The DNS servers to be searched below.If the DNS server acquired from the DHCP server is valid, the following list appears showing the order in which the servers are accessed.

• [DNS server (DHCP1)]
• [DNS server (DHCP2)]
• [DNS server (server)]

• [DNS server 1]
• [DNS server 2]
• [DNS server 3]

WINS:
Select whether WINS name resolution for the Network Interface Board or 802.11b Interface Unit is enabled.
When WINS name resolution is enabled, enter the WINS server addresses in [Primary WINS Server] and [Secondary WINS Server]. The device name entered under [Configuration] - [General] - [Device Name] is registered on the selected WINS server. You can specify the device by name even when the IP address of the Network Interface Board or 802.11b Interface Unit changes in the DHCP environment.
When the name cannot be registered on the WINS server, the registration request is broadcast.

Primary WINS Server:
Input the IP address of the primary WINS server.
When a WINS server address is obtained from the DHCP server, that address is used and the address specified here is disabled. You can check which address is actually being used by checking the system log under [Admin Info.] - [Ethernet board].

Secondary WINS Server:
Input the IP address of the secondary WINS server.
The secondary WINS server is used when the primary WINS server is not available to register the device name.

Frame Type:
Shows the frame type being used. You can only use Ethernet II.

SNMP / LPR / RSH/RCP / DIPRINT / FTP / IPP:
Select whether to enable or disable each protocol.

IPP Timeout:
When printing by IPP protocol, a printing timeout occurs when no print data has been sent after the amount of time specified here has elapsed (30-65535 seconds). The default setting is "900 seconds".
