Using DHCP

This machine can be used in a DHCP environment.

Important

  • If you are using a DHCP relay agent on a network that is connected to an ISDN line, the ISDN line may be used each time a packet is sent from the machine, incurring communication charges.

  • If your network environment is using DHCP and you have configured the machine to obtain its IP address automatically but the machine is operating in Auto-IP (169.254.xxx.xxx) mode, the machine might have obtained an incorrect IP address or might be using the same address as another network device. If this happens, consult your network administrator.

Note

  • Supported DHCP server operating systems are: Windows 2000 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 4 or higher, NetWare, and UNIX standard.

  • Reserve an IP address for the machine on the DHCP server so the same address will be assigned to the machine at all times.

  • When there are multiple DHCP servers, make the same reservation for all. This machine uses information from the DHCP server that responds first.

Reference

  • For details about checking the IP address in the Configuration List, see Quick Installation Guide.
