Network settings (TCP/IP)

When you connect your machine to a network, you must first configure the TCP/IP settings for the machine. The settings shown below are the basic settings required for using your machine as a network machine. You can set TCP/IP, DNS server, TCP/IPv6, Ethernet, and IP address allocation methods.

Ethernet

You can set ethernet settings.

Press Machine Setup > Network Settings > TCP/IP > Ethernet from the display screen.

[Note]

You can also use this feature from the SyncThru™ Web Service. Open the Web browser from your networked computer and type the IP address of your machine (see Settings tab).

  • Ethernet: You can enable/disable ethernet port.

  • Speed Rate: Choose the speed rate of ethernet.

  • MAC Address: Shows the Mac address of the machine.

TCP/IP Protocol

You can set IPv4 settings.

Press Machine Setup > Network Settings > TCP/IP > TCP/IPv4 from the display screen.

[Note]

You can also use this feature from the SyncThru™ Web Service. Open the Web browser from your networked computer and type the IP address of your machine (see Settings tab).

IP Setting

You can choose the method for allocating IP addresses.

  • Static: Select to enter IP address/Subnet Mask/Gateway Address manually.

  • BOOTP: IP address/Subnet Mask/Gateway Address are automatically allocated by the BOOTP Server.

  • DHCP: IP address/Subnet Mask/Gateway Address are automatically allocated by the DHCP Server.

DNS Configuration

You can configure the DNS server.

  • Host Name: Enter the host name. You can enter up to 63 characters. Default name is “SEC[MAC address]”.

  • Domain Name: Enter the domain name. You can enter up to 128 characters.

  • Primary DNS Server: Enter the address of the DNS server you want to use primarily.

  • Secondary DNS Server: Enter the address of the DNS server you want to use as an alternative.

  • Dynamic DNS Registration: If you want to use, check the checkbox(es) of dynamic DNS registration. If this option is checked, the machine registers its host name and domain name to configured DNS servers dynamically. Also, if this option is checked and DHCP is selected, DHCP FQDN options are automatically disabled.

WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)

You can configure the WINS server. WINS is used in the Windows operating system. Select this option.

Display IP address

You can set the machine to display the IP address on the Notification Bar. If you select this option the IP address will show on the Notification Bar.
