Configure TCP/IP for Ethernet

You can specify that the Fiery server obtains its IP address automatically or set the address manually.

Note: The Fiery server stores assigned IP addresses, even if you disable TCP/IP later. If you must assign the Fiery server IP address to another device, first set the Fiery server address to the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

The Fiery server requires a unique, valid IP address. You can specify that the Fiery server obtains its IP address automatically or set the address manually. If you allow the Fiery server to obtain the IP address automatically, it also obtains the gateway address automatically.

If you want to set other kinds of IP addresses automatically, such as for a DNS or WINS server, you must allow the Fiery server to obtain its own IP address automatically.
