							Networking Protocols
Phaser® 6115MFP Multifunction Product
4-2
Networking Protocols
The Phaser 6115MFP supports the following network protocols:
■BOOTP/DHCP
■HTTP
■IPP
■LPD/LPR
■SLP
■SNMP
■Port 9100
■SMTP
BOOTP
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to 
discover (1) its own IP address, (2) the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and (3) 
a file that can be loaded into memory to boot the workstation. This enables the workstation to 
boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive. 
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP 
addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP 
address every time it connects to the network. In some products, the device’s IP address can 
even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP 
addresses. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps 
track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means 
that a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a 
unique IP address. 
HTTP
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web. 
It defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions web servers and 
browsers should take in response to various commands. For example, when you enter a URL 
in your browser, this actually sends an HTTP command to the web server directing it to fetch 
and transmit the requested web page. 
IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for end users’ most common printing situations 
over the Internet. It allows users to find out about a printer’s capabilities, submit print jobs to a 
printer, determine the status of the printer or print job, and cancel a previously submitted print 
job.

LPD/LPR
LPD/LPR (Line Printer Daemon/Line Printer Request) is a platform-independent printing 
protocol that runs over TCP/IP. Originally implemented for BSD UNIX, its use has spread into 
the desktop world and is now an industry standard. 
SLP
Traditionally, in order to locate services on the network, users had to supply the host name or 
network address of the machine providing the desired service. This has created many 
administrative problems. 
However, SLP (Service Location Protocol) simplifies the discovery and use of network 
resources such as printers by automating a number of network services. It provides a 
framework that allows networking applications to discover the existence, location, and 
configuration of networked services.
With SLP users no longer need to know the names of network hosts. Instead, they need to 
know only the description of the service they are interested in. Based on this description, SLP 
is able to return the URL of the desired service. 
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a set of protocols for managing complex 
networks. SNMP works by sending messages to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant 
devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) 
and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
Port 9100
When printing through a network, TCP/IP port number 9100 can be used to send raw data.
SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for sending email.
This protocol was originally used to send email between servers; however, currently client 
email software uses it to send email to servers using POP.

Network Connection Overview
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for 
Ethernet.
■If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required. 
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, an Ethernet hub and two 
twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. 
■If you are connecting to one or more computers using a cable or DSL router, a cable or 
DSL router and two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One 
cable for each device.)
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to 
the hub with one cable, and then connect the product to the hub with the second cable. 
Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port.
TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet. To print using a 
TCP/IP protocol, each computer and product requires a unique IP address. 
TCP/IP and IP Address Overview
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate 
TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information. 
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the product directly to 
your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the product’s 
Internet Protocol (IP) address. 
PCs and products primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. 
With TCP/IP protocols, each product and computer must have a unique IP address. It is 
important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be 
different. For example, your product can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer 
has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a 
networked printer. For Mac OS X products, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, 
EtherTalk does not require products or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server 
automatically programs an IP address into every PC and product on the network that is 
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a 
cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Manually Setting the Product’s IP Address
Note:Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. 
Contact your network administrator for more information. DNS must be disabled to manually 
set the IP address.
If you are on a network without a DNS server, or in an environment where the network 
administrator assigns product IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP 
address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP settings. Alternatively, if 
you are in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can 
manually set the IP address.
Using the Control Panel
1.Press the 
Menu/Select button.
2.Using the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button, scroll to 
Network Setup, and then press the 
Menu/Select button.
3.Scroll to 
TCP/IP Address, and then press the Menu/Select button.

Using Host Names with the Domain Name Service (DNS)
The product supports DNS through an embedded DNS resolver. The DNS resolver protocol 
communicates with one or more DNS servers to resolve the IP address for a given host name 
or the host name for a given IP address. 
To use an IP host name for the product, the product administrator must configure one or more 
DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space database. To set up the printer for DNS, 
supply a maximum of two DNS name server IP addresses.
