Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol within the Internet Protocol Suite that manages the transmission of messages from computer to computer.
This setting may be configured from the Control Panel or using the Embedded Web Server (EWS). Select your preferred method to configure, modify or verify the setting.
IMPORTANT:
If this is the first time the device is being configured (initial install), the TCP/IP information must be configured from the Control Panel.
If TCP/IP is disabled, you cannot access the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
If you are using DHCP, it is recommended to reserve the IP address assigned to the device to prevent future interruptions to print and scan functionality.
Control Panel
Configure, Modify or Verify the Network Address Manually (Static)
Login as Administrator at the Control Panel. For additional information, click on Access and Login or Logout as System Administrator at the Control Panel or Embedded Web Server (EWS).
At the control panel touch screen, touch Device, then touch Tools.
Touch Network Settings→TCP/IP Settings.
Touch Dynamic Addressing.
Touch Disabled, then touch OK.
Touch IPv4, then type the IPv4 Address, IP Gateway Address, and Network Mask Address. After each address, touch OK.
When you are finished, touch OK.
To apply the settings, touch Finish.
Logout as Administrator at the Control Panel.
Embedded Web Server (EWS)
If your printer has a valid network address, you can configure TCP/IP settings in the Embedded Web Server.
Configure, Modify or Verify IPv4
You can use IPv4 or IPv6 in addition to or in place of the other.
Login as Administrator at the Embedded Web Server (EWS). For additional information, click on Access and Login or Logout as System Administrator at the Control Panel or Embedded Web Server (EWS).
In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties→Connectivity→Setup.
For Network, next to a connection type, click Edit.
Note: The device uses separate IPv4, IPv6, and DNS settings for wired and wireless network connections.
Before you configure wireless IP settings, install the Xerox Wireless Network Interface, then connect to a wireless network.For Configuration Settings, next to IP, click Edit.
To configure IPv4, click Show IPv4 Settings.
For Protocol, select Enabled.
For IP Address Resolution, select an option.
BOOTP: This option permits the device to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP server that does not respond to DHCP requests.
DHCP: This option permits the device to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. This option permits the printer to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP server that is configured to accept DHCP requests. The printer requests that the server register the IP address and hostname of the printer with the DNS server.
STATIC: This option disables dynamic addressing and allows you to type a static IP address. Type a Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.
For Broadcast, select Enabled as needed.
Note: If the device does not obtain an IP address from a DHCP/BOOTP server, enable broadcast. Enable broadcast when your DHCP/BOOTP server is on a different subnet than the device and communicates through a relay agent router.For Zero-Configuration Networking, for Self Assigned Address, select Enabled as needed. This option instructs the device to assign itself an address when a DHCP server does not provide one.
Click Apply.
Note: If you select Default All, the device sets the IPv4, IPv6, and DNS values as the default settings.Logout as Administrator at the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Configure, Modify or Verify IPv6
IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected to a routed IPv6 network using the Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along with other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local
multicast router solicitation request for configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers respond to this request with a router advertisement packet containing network-layer configuration parameters.
Login as Administrator at the Embedded Web Server (EWS). For additional information, click on Access and Login or Logout as System Administrator at the Control Panel or Embedded Web Server (EWS).
In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties→Connectivity→Setup.
For Network, for a connection type, click Edit.
Note: The device uses separate IPv4, IPv6, and DNS settings for wired and wireless network connections. Before you configure wireless IP settings, install the Xerox Wireless Network Interface, then connect to a wireless network.For Configuration Settings, for IP, click Edit.
To configure IPv6, click Show IPv6 Settings.
Note: If both IPv4 and IPv6 are disabled, you cannot access the Embedded Web Server. To access IPv4 and IPv6 settings in the Embedded Web Server, at the device control panel, enable IPv4, IPv6, or both. If you disable IPv4 and IPv6 or change the IP addresses, any dependent protocols are disabled.For Protocol, select Enabled.
To allow the router to assign address prefixes, for Stateless Addresses, select Use Router Supplied Prefixes.
To select how DHCP operates for IPv6, for Default Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Settings, select an option.
To enter the address manually, for Manual Address Options, select Enable Manual Address.
From the menu, select a router prefix, or type a new router prefix, then click Add.
To save the new settings, click Apply.
