| Changing Protocol Settings

This section describes the procedure for changing a device's network protocol settings.

| This section describes all items configurable with NetSpot Device Installer for TCP/IP. Configurable items differ according to device type or device status.
| For details about how to set the network protocol for a device for which [Not Configured] is displayed, refer to Making Initial Settings.

Changing Settings

Follow the procedure below to change device network protocol settings.

1. In the device list, select the device to which you want to change a protocol, and then select [Protocol Settings] from the [Device] menu. You can also right-click a device in the list (with a Macintosh, by clicking it while holding down the control key) and select the [Protocol Settings] from the menu displayed.

   | If the device is password protected, the [Confirm Device Password] dialog box appears when this menu is selected. Input the password and then click the [OK] button.

2. In the [Protocol Settings] dialog box, configure the TCP/IP.

   | The configuration items for a DA unit are the same as for the initial settings. Refer to Initial Setup of DA Units.

   [Frame Type]:
     Select the frame type used in your TCP/IP environment.
   [IP Address Setting with]:
     Select an address configuration type. (Depending on the type of device, some items may not be available.)

     | [Auto Detect] Automatically detects the IP address setting method. Select the DHCP, BOOTP, and/or RARP check boxes, depending on the type of detection to be used. Upon booting or resetting, checks are performed to determine whether IP addresses can be set with DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP (in that order) and the first available setting method detected is used.
     | [Manual Setting] Use this to manually specify the IP address. The IP address input into [IP Address] is set to the network board.
     | [RARP] Obtains an IP address using RARP. (The RARP daemon must be running.)
     | [BOOTP] Obtains an IP address using BOOTP. (The BOOTP daemon must be running.)
     | [DHCP] Obtains an IP address using DHCP. (The DHCP server must be running.)

   [IP Address]:
     Input the IP address of the network board.
   [Subnet mask]:
     Input the subnet mask for your TCP/IP network.
   [Gateway Address]:
     Input the gateway address for your TCP/IP network.

   | When the [Frame Type] is set to [Disabled], the network board is not recognized on a TCP/IP network.
   | If [RARP], [BOOTP] or [DHCP] is not available, configure using [Manual Setting].
   | Since it takes a minute or two to check whether [RARP], [BOOTP], and [DHCP] are available, it is recommended that you do not select these methods unless they are to be used.

3. Configure the IPX protocol.

   | When the following items appear in the [Protocol Settings] dialog box:
   [Frame Type]:
     Select the frame type used in your NetWare environment. Select [Auto Detect] to detect the frame type used on your NetWare network after turning on the device.
   | When the following items appear in the [Protocol Settings] dialog box:
   [Frame Type]:
     Select the method for obtaining the frame type used on the NetWare network.
     Select [Auto Detect] to detect the frame type used on your NetWare network after turning on the device. When you select [Manual Setting], select the check box for the frame type used on your NetWare Network. The IPX protocol cannot be used if all check marks are cleared.

   | When the [Frame Type] is set to [Disabled], the network board is not recognized on a NetWare network.
   | [Auto Detect] is not available with some devices.

4. Configure the AppleTalk settings.

   [Phase Type]:
     Select the phase type for the AppleTalk network.
   [Zone]:
     Input the zone name for your AppleTalk network.

   | When the [Phase Type] is set to [Disabled], the network board is not recognized on an AppleTalk network.
   | With some device types, if the [Phase Type] is set to [Disabled], the zone cannot be configured.

5. Click the [OK] button after configuring all the items.
6. When the "The device has been reset" message appears, click the [OK] button to reset the device. After the device has restarted, the new setting is now valid. When the message "Turn the device off and then on again " appears, click the [OK] button and turn the device's power off and then on again. The new setting is now valid.

   After the device has restarted, run [Discover Devices] from the [View] menu to display the device in the list.
   | Immediately after you click the [OK] button or after you restart the device, the selected device may not appear in the list even if you run [Discover Devices] because the device settings are not complete.

Restoring Factory Default Settings

Follow the procedure below to restore the factory default network protocol settings.
(This function can only be used with Canon devices.)

| The items that can be restored to their defaults depend on the model and the network board.
| It may not be possible to restore default settings for all devices with the following procedure.

1. In the device list, select the device to which you want to restore the factory default settings, and select [Restore to Default Settings] from the [Device] menu. You can also right-click a device in the list (with a Macintosh, by clicking it while holding down the control key) and select the [Restore to Default Settings] from the menu displayed.

   | A confirmation message appears.

2. Click the [Yes] button.
3. When the "The device has been reset" message appears, click the [OK] button to reset the device. After the device has restarted, the new setting is now valid. When the message "Turn the device off and then on again " appears, click the [OK] button and turn the device's power off and then on again. The new setting is now valid.
