Network Connection Quick Setup Guide

This guide includes instructions for:

■ Navigating Display Screens on page 2

■ Network Setup Using DHCP on page 2

■ Network Setup Using a Static IP Address on page 3

■ Verifying Network Setup Using CentreWare Internet Services (CentreWare IS) on page 4

This setup guide provides instructions for connecting the Xerox WorkCentre M118/M118i on an Ethernet TCP/IP network. It includes procedures for setting up the network connection using either of the following methods:

■ DHCP: Use this method to allow a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address. This is the factory

default setting.

■ Static IP address: Use this method to manually assign an IP address provided by the network

administrator.

Note

The System Administrator Guide provides detailed instructions for setting up a network connection. If you are using Novell IPX, refer to the System Administrator Guide for setup procedures.

Before You Begin

Before turning on the machine:

■ Confirm that an existing operational network utilizing TCP/IP is available.

■ Confirm that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the machine and is connected to an operational Ethernet

port on the network.

Note

The RJ45 Ethernet cable is not supplied by Xerox.

Navigating Display Screens

1. Use the Select buttons to select items on the display and to scroll through menus.

2. Use the Right Arrow and Left Arrow buttons to navigate screens or to move from one entry field to

another.

3. Use the Enter button to accept the currently selected item on the display.

4. Use the Exit button to return to the previous display screen.

Network Setup Using DHCP

When the machine starts up after power on, it automatically uses DHCP to obtain its network configuration information. A DHCP server delivers an IP address as well as other configuration settings to the machine.

To set up the network connection using DHCP:

1. Turn on the machine.

2. After the machine starts up, it negotiates with the DHCP server for an IP address. Wait two minutes for the

network setup to complete, and then print the System Settings List:

a. On the control panel, press the Machine Status button. b. User the Select button below the display to highlight Report/List, and then press the Enter button. c. Press the Right Arrow button. d. Press the Select button until you see System Settings on the display, and then press the Enter

button.

e. Press the Start button to print the System Settings List.

3. In the Communications Settings section of the System Settings List, confirm that an IP address has been

allocated and that it is an appropriate IP address for your network.

Note

If the IP address starts with 167.xxx.xxx.xxx, the DHCP server has not properly allocated an address or DHCP is not enabled on your network. Contact your network administrator for assistance.

4. Use CentreWare IS to verify the network setup. See Verifying Network Setup Using CentreWare Internet

Services (CentreWare IS) on page 4.
