    DHCP Setup

    I have to install a Print/Scan system U on a Kyocera KM-3035 and am looking for any input.
    I have no problem with IP addressing but lack experience with using DHCP setup.
    Any and all responses greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

      I find DHCP useful to gather the Wins, DNS, etc., then change to a static address afterwards.
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          DHCP protocol helps with gathering, Wins, DNS, IP address, ETC automatically so you don't have to worry. Of course DHCP would have to be enable on there network system,(Server).
          I would have the IT dept involved when setting up any network devices.

              DHCP is always provided by a server of some sort, whether it be a Windows / Linux etc server or a DSL modem / router.

              The way DHCP works is that every time a network card fires up, it will advertise it's MAC address (hardware address) across the network to show it is running. Once this MAC address is recieved by a DHCP server, the DHCP server then decides which details it needs to provide back.

              Depending on the DHCP server being used, can depend on what is called a lease time. Each time a MAC is advertised the DHCP server will gice the equipment an IP address out of a pool and that equipment will keep that same IP address until the lease runs out. A typical Windows server will default to having 8 day leases. After the 8 days are up, the lease is removed. When the equipment fires back up, it might receive a different IP address.

              This is the part that is extremely handy when setting up copiers / printers / scanners and so forth. If you get the MAC address out of the equipment, then you can go onto the DHCP server and set a reservation. This means that everytime the MAC address is advertised as being live on the network, the DHCP server will give the MAC address a predetermined set of details. These details include IP address, Subnet, Gateway, DNS and WINS. The only thing you have to enter into the DHCP server for this to work is the MAC address of the equipment and the IP address you wish the equipment to have.

              Once this is set, you can then power cycle the equipment and it should pick up the IP that you reservered on the server.

              This is DHCP in short, but if you want to know more, then check out the following page.

              Hope this helps.
              Please don't ask me for firmware or service manuals as refusal often offends.
