Re: 4520c losing IP address
I had this on a Kyocera KM-5551ci, losing the IP address typically (3) times a week. Changing the main controller board solved this issue.
Or it could be something a whole lot simpler. Let's say the eS4520C is set to DHCP, the drivers are directed to an IP address, and they shut the machine off every night. The DHCP server could re-assign that original IP address to something else, and assign a different address to the MFP. That leaves you with three possible solutions:
1) Don't shut the copier OFF.
2) Assign the MFP a static IP address outside the range of DHCP.
3) Assign the hostname as port in the drivers (assuming that DHCP is functioning correctly).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.

Re: 4520c losing IP address
Unplug the network cable. Ping the copier's IP address. If you get a reply, there is another device on the LAN with the same IP address causing a conflict with the copier.
Assign the copier a static IP address. Change the IP port on each PC printing to the copier to the new IP address.Comment

Re: 4520c losing IP address
So this is what I have: The machine is set to a static IP. When you reenter the IP it prints fine. When the IP is gone it is all "0"s. The mask and gateway still have their values. Only the IP is gone. Could a firmware update help. Where is the address stored?Comment

Re: 4520c losing IP address
From this point is the customer's IT problem if they have one, another device on the network is picking up your IP.Defects are simple, our mind is complicatedComment

Re: 4520c losing IP address
So you end up with something like this?:
Static
0.0.0.0
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1
Three possibilities:
1) HDD. Are you getting corrupted addressbook entries also? Any Fxxx codes? You might try a re-format and reload firmware.
2) SRAM
3) or System Board.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.

Re: 4520c losing IP address
Blackcat that is what I get. I couldn't figure what is making ip go to "O" if it is a conflict issue. Will try a firmware update and see what happens.Comment

Re: 4520c losing IP address
To state the obvious, the e4520c is an old box that is really not worth putting parts into. Time to upgrade the customer into current technology like a shiny new e4505AC.Comment

Re: 4520c losing IP address

Re: 4520c losing IP address
Have you tried to initialize the Nic 08-693? Check if you have 08-1440 set to 1 for IP conflict detect.Defects are simple, our mind is complicatedComment

Re: 4520c losing IP address
If FC is pressed twice will that restore the ip or does it have to be manually reentered?Comment
