Setting the Printer’s IP Address

Automatic IP addressing

The Tektronix Installer for Windows sets the printer’s IP address under the following 
conditions:

■

The printer has a network connection.

■

TCP/IP is installed on the computer.

■

The IP address has not already been assigned (for example, from the front panel or by 
DHCP).

During the installation process, you can accept the automatically assigned address or 
assign a different one.  For small networks, the automatically assigned address will work 
in most cases.  For large networks, see your network administrator to determine if the 
suggested address will work.

The Tektronix installer for Windows is the recommended method for setting IP address in 
Windows environments; for other environments, see the next topic, Other methods for 
setting the printer’s IP address.

With a Windows 95 or Windows 98 peer-to-peer connection, if you change the 
printer’s IP address after the first-time installation, you must change the port’s 
address on the PC through PhaserPort for Windows (see Changing a port’s IP 
address on page 17).

Other methods for setting the printer’s IP address

You can set the printer’s IP address by any of the following methods: 

■

Front panel.  See Setting the IP address from the Phaser 850 front panel on page 23.

■

DHCP.  When turned on or reset, the printer receives its IP address information from a 
DHCP server.  See Setting the IP address: DHCP on page 24.

■

Downloaded configuration file.  Can be used on hosts that do not have BOOTP, or 
DHCP.  For UNIX, use a Tektronix-provided shell script to prepare a configuration 
file.  Sending the file to the printer stores the IP address information in the printer’s 
memory, where the printer reads it when reset.  See the 

■

PC and Macintosh users can also set IP parameters using PostScript utility files; see 
the README files on the printer’s CD-ROM.  The PC README file is in the UTILS 
directory; the Macintosh README file is in the Network Utilities folder.

■

PhaserLink Printer Management Software.  After setting the printer’s IP address by 
another method, you can perform the rest of the TCP/IP configuration using 
PhaserLink Printer Management Software, if you have a World Wide Web browser.
