Wireless network setup552. Using a Network-Connected Machine- For a Static network environmentThe machine uses the static address when the computer is configuredto static address.For example,If the computer’s network information is as shown below:▪ IP address: 169.254.133.42▪ Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0Then the machine’s network information should be as below:▪ IP address: 169.254.133.43▪ Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)▪ Gateway: 169.254.133.1Other problemsIf problems occur while using the machine on a network, check the following:For information on the access point (or wireless router), refer to its ownuser's guide.• You cannot enable wired and wireless networks at the same time.• Your computer, access point (or wireless router), or machine may not beturned on.• Check the wireless reception around the machine. If the router is far fromthe machine or there is an obstacle, you might have difficulty receiving thesignal.• Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router), machine, andcomputer. Sometimes cycling the power can recover networkcommunication.• Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking thecommunication.If the computer and the machine are connected on the same network and itcannot be found when searching, firewall software might be blocking thecommunication. Refer to the user's guide for the software to turn it off andtry searching for the machine again.• Check whether the machine's IP address is allocated correctly. You cancheck the IP address by printing the network configuration report.• Check whether the access point (or wireless router) has a configuredsecurity (password). If it has a password, refer to the access point (or wirelessrouter) administrator.• Check the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver and change thesettings to connect to the machine on the network. Due to thecharacteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could change if themachine is not used for a long time or if the access point has been reset.Register the product's MAC address when you configure the DHCP server onthe access point (or wireless router). Then you can always use the IP addressthat is set with the MAC address. You can identify the MAC address of yourmachine by printing a network configuration report (see "Printing a networkconfiguration report" on page 10).
