| Making Initial Settings

This section describes the procedure for setting up the network protocol for devices and for DA units for which [Not Configured] is displayed in the device list. There are two methods for setting up devices that are not configured: setting just the IP address (Easy Setup), and setting the entire network protocol, including NetWare and AppleTalk.

| Administrator privileges are required to make new network protocol settings. With Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003, Solaris, or Linux, first log in (log on) as an administrator.
| If you are installing NetSpot Device Installer on an operating system which has the Windows Firewall function, such as Windows XP Service Pack 2, and the Windows firewall function is enabled, you cannot display unconfigured devices in the device list, nor carry out Broadcast Discovery and Multicast Discovery on a network other than the local subnet without registering NetSpot Device Installer as a program that is not to be blocked in Windows Firewall. For instructions on how to make registration settings, refer to the Readme file. (If you have registered this software in Windows Firewall by following the instructions during installation, it is not necessary to perform this procedure.)
If you do not want to register this software, follow the procedure described in Making New Settings to make initial protocol settings.
| If the router is set to transmit the specified subnet broadcast address, you can make the initial settings of the Canon devices connected to the network through the router for which [Not Configured] is displayed in the device list.
| DA units configurable with NetSpot Device Installer for TCP/IP must be on the same subnet as the computer running NetSpot Device Installer for TCP/IP. DA units on other subnets or connected to the network through a router cannot be configured.
| 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 configure a device that is not displayed in the device list for the first time, refer to Making New Settings.
| To change existing network protocol settings, refer to Changing Protocol Settings.
| If the factory default IP address for the device is a valid address on the subnet of the computer where NetSpot Device Installer for TCP/IP is running, the device will be shown in the device list as a configured device even if you have not made the initial protocol settings. To set the protocol for such a device, refer to Changing Protocol Settings. (The factory default settings differ according to the type of device or network board you are using. For details, refer to the documentation provided with the device.)

Setting Only an IP Address (Easy Setup)

Follow the procedure described below to set the IP address for devices for which [Not Configured] is displayed. (This function can only be used with Canon devices.)

1. In the device list, select the device for which you want to set the IP address, and then select [IP Address Settings] from the [Device] menu and select a submenu listed below. 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 submenus listed below from the [IP Address Settings] menu displayed.

   | With Macintosh Mac OS X, the [Login] dialog box appears when you select the submenus listed below. Input the administrator name and password and click the [OK] button.
   [DHCP]:
     Obtains an IP address using DHCP. (The DHCP server must be running.)
   [IP Address Pool]:
     Uses the IP address pool to assign IP addresses.
     You must make settings for the IP address pool before using it.
     For more information on the IP address pool settings, refer to Setting and Referencing the IP Address Pool.
   [Manual Setting]:
     Use this to manually set the IP address.

   | If DHCP is unavailable, select [IP Address Pool] or [Manual Setting].

2. The [IP Address Manual Setting] dialog box appears only if [Manual Setting] was selected. Input the IP address to be assigned to the device, and then click [OK].

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.

   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.
