### Configure the IP Address Using DHCP

Related Models:M7206W / M7216NWA / M7256WHF

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the print server obtains its IP address from the DHCP server automatically and registers its name with any RFC 1001- and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, you must set the Boot Method to Static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems.

To change the Boot Method, use the machine's control panel Network menu, BRAdmin Light application, Remote Setup (M7256WHF), or Web Based Management.
