Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) — see page 4.Other sections of the Networking Guide include installation steps for specific operating systems.Automatic IP addressingThe Xerox installer for Windows sets the printer’s IP address under the following conditions: The printer has a network connection. TCP/IP is installed and configured on the client computer. The IP address has not already been assigned, for example, from the printer’s front panel or byDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP is a system in which network servers candynamically allocate IP addresses. The printer is a DHCP client; when the printer is reset, itreceives an IP address from the DHCP server.During the installation process, you can accept the automatically assigned address or assign a differentone. For small networks, the automatically assigned address works in most cases. For large networks,see your network administrator to determine if the suggested address would work.Other methods of setting the printer’sIP addressYou can set the printer’s IP address by any of the following methods: Front panel DHCP CentreWare Internet Services is a printer administration and support tool using web technology.With CentreWare IS software, you can access printer status and manage your printer over a TCP/IP network using a web browser.
