Connect the computerto the hub with one cable and connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Use any port on the hub except theuplink port. TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet cables. To print using TCP/IP, eachcomputer and the printer requires a unique IP address. See Setting IP Addresses.Standalone UseUse a crossover cable to connect the printer directly to the computer via the Ethernet port.Setting an IP addressIf your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses andadditional configurations.If you are creating your own small Local Area Network, or connecting the printer directly to your computer over Ethernet,use this basic procedure. The printer and computer(s) should have unique IP addresses. It is important that the addressesare similar, but not the same. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has theaddress 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4, and so on.For more details, refer to the infoSMART Knowledge Base at www.xerox.com/officeprinting/infoSMART, Document # 18545.
