❖ Network Boot
Network boot automatically acquires information related to network settings
from the network's DHCP server. Setting Network Boot to "DHCP" activates
the Network Boot function. See p.37 “Network Boot”.
You do not need to set that information on the machine. You can acquire the
following information from the DHCP server:

You do not need to set that information on the machine. You can acquire the
following information from the DHCP server:
Note
❒ Servers that have been confirmed to work as DHCP server are Windows
NT Server 4.0, and Windows 2000 Server.
❒ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP
addresses and other necessary settings to devices on the network.
❒ To use a DHCP server, the DHCP server (or DHCP relay agent) has to be
installed on the same subnet.
❒ If the DHCP server cannot assign an IP address, an IP address that is not
used on network and begins with "169.254", is automatically selected and
used. Then, the fax machine periodically accesses the DHCP server to ac-
quire an IP address, and when successful, the IP address is changed to the
new one. This is called AutoNet function. While the AutoNet function
runs, neither of the Scanner function, Internet Fax function, IP-Fax func-
tion and LAN-Fax function can be used.

runs, neither of the Scanner function, Internet Fax function, IP-Fax func-
tion and LAN-Fax function can be used.
❒ When Network Boot is set to "DHCP" and the fax machine runs, the IP ad-
dress of the fax machine may be changed. To maintain the DHCP server-
assigned IP address, do one of the following:
• Reserve the NIC FAX IP address (MAC address) you want to use on the
assigned IP address, do one of the following:
• Reserve the NIC FAX IP address (MAC address) you want to use on the
DHCP server, so the fixed address is allocated to NIC FAX.
• Lease the IP address for an indefinite time.
