Introducing useful network programs

There are several programs available to setup the network settings easily in network environment. For the network administrator especially, managing several machines on the network is possible.

[Note]

Before using the programs below, set the IP address first.

SyncThru™ Web Service

Web server embedded on your network machine, which allows you to:

  • Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to connect to various network environments.

  • Customize machine settings.

    See Using SyncThru™ Web Service.

SyncThru™ Web Admin Service

A web-based machine management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network machines from any site with corporate internet access. Download this program from http://solution.samsungprinter.com.

SetIP

This utility program allows you to select a network interface and manually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.

[Note]

TCP/IPv6 is not supported by this program.

Using a wired network

You must set up the network protocols on your machine to use it on your network. This chapter will show you how this is easily accomplished.

You can use network after connecting network cable to a corresponding port on your machine.

Printing network configuration report

You can print a Network Configuration Report from the machine's control panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help you to set up a network and troubleshoot problems.

To print the report:

In ready mode, press and hold the (cancel button) for about 5 seconds. You can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address.

For example:

  • MAC Address: 00:15:99:41:A2:78

  • IP Address: 192.0.0.192

Setting IP address

Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.

In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.

  • DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the report.

  • Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer.

In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you.

IPv4 configuration

IPv4 setting using SetIP Program (Windows)

This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. A MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network interface and can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
