Home > Glossary > IP Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An IP address consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from that server.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
