Overview

Note: If you are accessing Xerox CentreWare Internet Services for the first time after printer installation, you will be prompted to change the default Administrator Account password The initial default password is the printer serial number For additional information refer to Change the System Administrator Password for CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS). Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network Bonjour is a discovery protocol that allows devices on a TCP/IP network to discover each other without knowledge of specific IP addresses Bonjour is built in to Macintosh operating systems You can install Bonjour on Windows devices. With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer requires a unique IP address Many networks, and cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP. If you use a cable or DSL router, for information on IP addressing, refer to the documentation for your router. Configuring TCP/IP Settings Using Xerox CentreWare Internet Services If your printer has a valid network address, you can configure TCP/IP settings in Xerox® CentreWare® Internet Services For details, refer to Assigning a Network Address. Configuring IPv4 You can use IPv4 or IPv6 in addition to or in place of the other. Configuring IPv6 IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves 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. From a computer (on the same network as the printer) open a Web browser. In the Web browser address field, enter the IP address of the printer and then press Enter or Return The CWIS home page will be displayed. Click Properties . Note: Many features in CWIS require an administrator user name and password to access or modify If prompted to enter Administrator Account login details: For User Name , enter Admin . For Password , enter the administrator account password that was set during initial access to CWIS. Click OK . For User Name , enter Admin . For Password , enter the administrator account password that was set during initial access to CWIS. Click OK . Click Connectivity . Click Protocols . Click TCP/IP . For Protocol , select Enabled . For Host Name , type a unique name for your printer. For IP Address Resolution , select an option Fields that appear depend on the option that you select. STATIC : This option disables dynamic addressing and allows you to type a static IP address Type the Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address. BOOTP : This option allows the printer to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP server that does not respond to DHCP requests. DHCP : This option allows your DHCP server to assign an IP address to the printer Dynamic DNS Registration is enabled. STATIC : This option disables dynamic addressing and allows you to type a static IP address Type the Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address. BOOTP : This option allows the printer to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP server that does not respond to DHCP requests. DHCP : This option allows your DHCP server to assign an IP address to the printer Dynamic DNS Registration is enabled. For Domain Name , type the fully qualified domain name of your authentication server. For DNS Configuration , type the IP address for up to three servers. To send a release request to the DHCP and DNS servers, for Dynamic DNS Registration , select Enabled If the servers grant the request, when the printer is powered off, the current IP address and dynamic DNS name are released. For Zero-Configuration Networking , perform the following steps. To configure the printer to assign itself an address if a DHCP server does not provide one, for Self-Assigned Address , select Enabled . To allow users to see and connect to the printer using Bonjour, for Multicast DNS , select Enabled .
