TCP/IPv4 Settings

This section describes the procedure for setting TCP/IPv4 using the control panel. After specifying the settings for TCP/IPv4, follow the procedure in "Settings Common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6" to specify the required settings, and the procedure in "Confirming TCP/IPv4 Settings (PING Command)" to check whether the network settings are correct. If the settings for TCP/IPv6 are already specified and you have finished specifying the settings common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6, only check the network settings after completing this procedure.

If you want to use IPv6 communications at the same time, follow the procedure in "TCP/IPv6 Settings" to specify the required settings, and the procedure in "Confirming TCP/IPv6 Settings (PING Command)" to confirm the settings.

Press

(Settings/Registration).

Press [Preferences] → [Network].

Press [TCP/IP Settings] → [IPv4 Settings].

Press [Use IPv4] for [IPv4 Settings] → [On] → [OK].

If you select [Off] for <Use IPv4>, IPv4 networks cannot be used, regardless of the settings specified for IPv4 on the Settings/Registration screen. The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table is also disabled.

Press [IP Address Settings] for [IPv4 Settings] → specify the following items → press [OK].

Using a fixed IP address:

Press [IP Address] → enter the IP address.

Press [Subnet Mask] → enter the subnet mask.

Press [Gateway Address] → enter the gateway address.

Set [DHCP], [RARP], and [BOOTP] to 'Off'.

IMPORTANT
It takes about two minutes to check whether the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP settings can be used. If you do not plan to use one of these settings, it is recommended that you turn them off.

Automatically obtaining an IP address:

Set one of [DHCP], [RARP], or [BOOTP] to 'On'.

Press [IP Address] → enter the IP address.

Press [Subnet Mask] → enter the subnet mask.

Press [Gateway Address] → enter the gateway address.

IMPORTANT
If this information cannot be obtained via DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP after you restart the machine, enter [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], and [Gateway Address] to use the settings entered in this step.

NOTE
If the machine is restarted after DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP settings are specified, the TCP/IP Settings screen displays the IP address setting values obtained from the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server. (If the IP address, host name, and domain name have been previously set, these will be overwritten by the setting values obtained from DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.) If you use DHCP without the DNS dynamic update function, it is recommended that an identical IP address be assigned to the machine at all times. (If the IP address is not identical, the host name for the machine will not correspond to the IP address.)

NOTE

If the machine is restarted after DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP settings are specified, the TCP/IP Settings screen displays the IP address setting values obtained from the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server. (If the IP address, host name, and domain name have been previously set, these will be overwritten by the setting values obtained from DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.)

If you use DHCP without the DNS dynamic update function, it is recommended that an identical IP address be assigned to the machine at all times. (If the IP address is not identical, the host name for the machine will not correspond to the IP address.)

Press [OK].

If you set [DHCP] to 'On' in [IP Address Settings], specify the DHCP option settings. If you set [DHCP] to 'Off', proceed to step 8.

Press [IPv4 Settings] for [DHCP Option Settings] → specify the following settings → press [OK].

[Acquire Host Name]	You can automatically obtain the host name from the DHCP server.
[DNS Dynamic Update]	You can automatically register the IPv4 address, host name, domain name set for the machine in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating. A dynamic DNS server is required for using dynamic DNS updating.

Press [DNS Settings] for [TCP/IP Settings] → [DNS Server Address Settings].

Specify the following settings in <IPv4> → press [OK].

If you want to use dynamic DNS updating, enter the IPv4 address of the DNS server in [Primary DNS Server].

If you do not want to set up a secondary DNS server, enter <0.0.0.0>.

IMPORTANT
If you set [BOOTP] or [DHCP] to 'On' in step 5, the IP address of a DNS server you set manually will be overwritten.

10.

Press [DNS Host/Domain Name Settings] for [DNS Settings] → specify the following items in <IPv4> → press [OK].

If you want to use dynamic DNS updating, it is necessary to set a host name and domain name.

Host Name: Press [Host Name] → enter the name of the machine → press [OK].
Domain Name: Press [Domain Name] → enter the name of the network domain the machine belongs to → press [OK].

IMPORTANT
If you set [BOOTP] or [DHCP] to 'On' in step 5, the host name and domain name you set manually will be overwritten.

11.

Press [DNS Dynamic Update Settings] for [DNS Settings] → specify the following items in <IPv4> → press [OK].

If you press [On] for <DNS Dynamic Update>, you can automatically register the IPv4 address, host name, and domain name set for the machine in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating. A dynamic DNS server is required for using dynamic DNS updating.

Press [Firewall Settings] for [Network] → [IPv4 Address Filter].

14.

Press [TX Filter] or [RX Filter] → specify the following settings.


[TX Filter]	[RX Filter]

By specifying the settings described below, you can filter received packets and transmitted packets using IPv4 addresses and improve security when sending and receiving data between your computer and the machine. The possibility of a third person gaining unauthorized access can be reduced by configuring the settings for [IPv4 Address Filter] in accordance with the environment you are using.

When filtering received packets and transmitted packets, you can set to allow or reject data transmission/reception between your computer and the machine. You can specify with whom you allow data transmission/reception by registering IPv4 address of a computer as an exception address.

In case of [RX Filter], you can register exception port number as well as the IPv4 address so that you can set which computers are allowed to use specific functions and which are rejected. For example, you can allow general users to print via print server and reject them to access to the Remote UI while administrators are allowed to use all functions.

Details of settings are shown below:

	<Use Filter>	<Default Policy>	Settings Required after Pressing [Register]
Allow data transmission with all computers, but not with specified computers.	[On]	[Allow]	Register IPv4 address or IPv4 address prefix you want to reject.
Reject data transmission with all computers, but not with specified computers.	[On]	[Reject]	Register IPv4 address or IPv4 address prefix you want to allow.
Allow data reception from all computers, but not from specified computers.	[On]	[Allow]	Register IPv4 address or IPv4 address prefix you want to reject. Register port number for functions you want to reject.
Reject data reception from all computers, but not from specified computers.	[On]	[Reject]	Register IPv4 address or IPv4 address prefix you want to allow. Register port number for functions you want to allow.
Allow data transmission/reception with all computers.	[Off]	-	-

NOTE
If data transmission/reception is attempted between the device, which has the IPv4 address/port number set to be rejected, and the machine, a block log will be generated. To display the block log, "Checking the Block Log." Information for the rejected port number is recorded in the block log only when using TCP/UDP. Port number is not recorded when using protocols which have no port number such as ICMP.
