Wired network setup

Printing a network configuration report

You can print Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help you to set up a network.

Press the (Menu) button on the control panel and select Network > Network Conf.

Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address.

For example:

  • MAC Address: 30:CD:A7:41:A2:78

  • IP Address: 169.254.192.192

Setting IP address

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.

First, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.

IPv4 configuration

[Note]

You can also set the TCP/IPv4 from SyncThru™ Web Service. When the SyncThru™ Web Service window opens, move the mouse cursor over the Settings of the top menu bar and then click Network Settings (Settings tab).
From the control panel

If you have a DHCPv6 server on your network, you can set one of the following options for default dynamic host configuration.

  1. Select (Menu) > Network > TCP/IP (IPv4) > DHCPv4 Config on the control panel.

  2. Press OK to select the required value you want.

From SetIP program

Before using the SetIP program, disable the computer firewall.

[Note]

  • TCP/IPv6 is not supported by this program.

  • The following instructions may vary from your model or operating systems.

  1. Download the software from the Samsung website then unpack and install it: (http://www.samsung.com > find your product > Support or Downloads).

  2. Follow the instructions in the installation window.

    For Linux, double-click the SetIPApplet.html file in cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/utils folder.

  3. Run downloaded SetIP application.

    [Note]

    Find the machine’s MAC address from the Network Configuration Report (see Printing a network configuration report) and enter it without the colons. For example, 30:CD:A7:29:51:A8 becomes 30CDA72951A8.

IPv6 configuration

[Caution]

IPv6 is supported properly only in Windows Vista or higher.
[Note]

You can also set the TCP/IPv4 from SyncThru™ Web Service. When the SyncThru™ Web Service window opens, move the mouse cursor over the Settings of the top menu bar and then click Network Settings (Settings tab).
From the control panel

If you have a DHCPv6 server on your network, you can set one of the following options for default dynamic host configuration.

  1. Select (Menu) > Network > TCP/IP (IPv6) > DHCPv6 Config on the control panel.

  2. Press OK to select the required value you want.
