Network Connection 2-3Making the ConnectionEthernet InterfaceAn RJ45 connector can be used as the Ethernet interface for this machine.When connecting your machine to an Ethernet network, the tasks you per-form depend on how you plan to set the machine’s IP (Internet Protocol)address. IP Address—A unique identifier for each device on a TCP/IP network. Subnet Mask—A filter used to determine what subnet an IP addressbelongs to. Gateway—A node on a network that serves as an entrance to anothernetwork.Since the IP address for each PC and machine on your network must beunique, you usually need to modify this preset address so it doesn’t conflictwith any other IP address or your network or any attached network. You cando this in one of two ways. Each is explained in detail in the following sec-tions. Using DHCP Setting the address manuallyUsing DHCPIf your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), themachine’s IP address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP serverwhen you turn on the machine. (Refer to “Network Printing” on page 2-6 for adescription of DHCP.)" If the IP address of the machine is not set automatically, check if themachine has been set to allow DHCP to be used (REPORT/STATUS— REPORT — CONFIGURATION PAGE). If the machine has beenset so that DHCP cannot be used, select AUTO in the UTILITY -ADMIN. MANAGEMENT - NETWORK SETTING - IP ADDR.SETTING menu, and ENABLE in the UTILITY - ADMIN.
