Setting the IP Address

Assigning an IP Address

An IP address is a unique number that consists of four sections that are delimited by a period and can include up to three digits in each section, for example, 111.222.33.44.
You can select the IP mode from Dual Stack, IPv4, and IPv6. If your network supports both IPv4 and IPv6, select Dual Stack.
CAUTION: Assigning an IP address that is already in use can cause network performance issues.
NOTE: Assigning an IP address is considered as an advanced function and is normally done by a system administrator.
NOTE: When you assign an IP address manually in IPv6 Mode, use the Dell™ Printer Configuration Web Tool. To open the Dell
Printer Configuration Web Tool, use the link local address. To check a link local address, see "Verifying the IP Settings" on page 55.
NOTE: Depending on the address class, the range of the IP address assigned may be different. On Class A, for example, an IP
address in the range from 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 will be assigned. For assignment of IP addresses, contact your system administrator.
You can assign the IP address by using the operator panel or using the Tool Box.
The Operator Panel
For more information on using your operator panel, see "Operator Panel" on page 91.
NOTE: A Password is required to enter Admin Menu when Panel Lock Set is set to Enable. In this case, enter the
password you specified, and press the (Set) button.

For example, to enter the letter O, press 6.
Each time you press 6, the display shows a different letter, M, N, O and finally 6.

Dell™ Printer Configuration Web Tool

NOTE: The images used in this manual are those of the Dell C1765nfw Color Multifunction Printer unless otherwise mentioned.

Overview

NOTE: This web tool is available only when the printer is connected to a network.
One of the features of the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool is the E-Mail Alert Setup, which sends an e-mail to you or the key operator when the printer needs supplies or intervention.
To fill out printer inventory reports requiring the asset tag number of all the printers in your area, use the Printer Information feature in the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool. Enter the IP address of each printer on the network to display the asset tag number.
The Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool feature also allows you to change the printer settings and keep track of printing trends. If you are a network administrator, you can copy the printer settings to one or all printers on the network using your web browser.

Setting Up the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool

Ensure that you activate JavaScript in your browser before using the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool.
It is recommended that you configure the environment settings of your web browser before using the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool.
NOTE: The Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool pages may be unreadable if the language differs from that of your web browser.
