Macintosh Item Requirements Operating system Macintosh 10.3 ~ 10.5 CPU Intel processor PowerPC G4/G5 RAM 512 MB for an Intel-based Mac, 128 MB for a Power-PC based Mac Free disk space 1 GB Connection USB interface, Network interface (CLX-2160 only) 3.2 4 Network setup(CLX-2160N only) This chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for setting up your machine for network connections. This chapter includes: • Introduction • Supported operating systems • Configuring TCP/IP • Setting ethernet speed • Restoring the network configuration • Printing a network configuration page Introduction Once you have connected your machine to a network with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, you can share the machine with other network users. You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods: Via network administration programs You can configure your machine’s print server settings and manage the machine via the following programs that came with your machine: • SyncThru™ Web Admin Service: A web-based printer management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network printers from any site with corporate intranet access. • SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your network print server, which allows you to: -Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to connect to various network environments. -Customize printer, copy, and fax settings. • SetIP: A utility program allowing you to select a network interface and manually configure the addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol. For further details, refer to the user’s guide on the network utilities CD that came with your machine. Via the control panel You can set up the following basic network parameters through the machine’s control panel: • Configure TCP/IP • Configure Ethernet Speed Supported operating systems The following table shows the network environments supported by the machine: Item Requirements Network interface • Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX Network operating system • Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003/Vista • Various Linux OS • Macintosh OS 10.3 ~ 10.5 Network protocols • TCP/IP • IPP, SNMP Dynamic addressing server •DHCP, BOOTP • TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol • IPP: Internet Printing Protocol • SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol • DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol • BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol Configuring TCP/IP Your machine can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information, such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses. There are several ways in which your machine can be assigned a TCP/ IP address, depending on your network. • Static addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the system administrator. • Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP: A TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the server. Note Before configuring TCP/IP, you need to set the network protocol to TCP/IP. Static addressing To enter a TCP/IP address from your machine’s control panel, take the following steps: 1 Press Menu until Copy Menu appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK. 2 Press the Scroll buttons until Network appears and press OK. 3 Press OK when TCP/IP appears. 4 Press the Scroll buttons until Static appears and press OK. 5 Press OK when IP Address appears. 4.1 6 Set the first byte between 0 and 255 using the Scroll buttons and press OK to move to the next byte. Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th byte. 7 When you have finished, press OK. 8 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to configure the other TCP/IP parameters: subnet mask and gateway address. 9 Press the Scroll buttons until Static appears and press OK. 10 Press the Scroll buttons until Primary DNS appears and press OK. 11 Enter each byte of the address and press OK. 12 Press the Scroll buttons until Secondary DNS appears and press OK. 13 Enter each byte of the address and press OK. 14 Press Stop/Clear to return to Standby mode. Dynamic addressing (BOOTP/DHCP) To have a TCP/IP address assigned automatically by the server, take the following steps: 1 Press Menu until Copy Menu appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK. 2 Press the Scroll buttons until Network appears and press OK. 3 Press OK when TCP/IP appears. 4 Press the Scroll buttons until DHCP or BOOTP appears ...
