Initial IP Address Settings
Setting Multiple Devices Together

This section describes the procedure for setting the IP addresses for multiple devices for which [Not Configured] is displayed in the device list. (This function can only be used with Canon devices.)

Administrator privileges are required to make the initial network protocol settings. With Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, first log on as an administrator.
If the [User Account Control] dialog box appears, perform the following operations.
  • For Administrator users, continue with operations.
  • For Standard users, enter the Administrator password, and then continue with operations.
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.
To change existing network protocol settings, refer to Changing Protocol Settings.

  1. Select [IP Address Batch Settings] from the [Device] menu.
    With a Macintosh, the [Login] dialog box appears when you select [IP Address Batch Settings] from the [Device] menu. Input the administrator name and password and click the [OK] button.

  2. Select one device from the list in the [IP Address Batch Settings] dialog box.

    [Manual Setting]
    Use this to manually specify the IP address. The IP address entered in the [IP Address] field is set to the device.
    [Use IP Address Pool]

    To use the IP address pool, you must set it up in advance. For more information, refer to Setting and Referencing the IP Address Pool.
    [Use DHCP]
    Obtains an IP address using DHCP. (The DHCP server must be running.)

    [IP Address]:
    If [Manual Setting] was selected in [IP Address Settings], input the IP address for the device.
    If DHCP is unavailable, configure IP addresses with [Use IP Address Pool] or [Manual Setting].

  4. Click the [Set] button.
    The list is updated with the newly set information.

    The IP address for the device is not set unless you click the [Start] button in step 6.

  5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each device displayed in the list.

  6. When an IP address setting method is configured for each device in the list, click the [Start] button.
    Batch setting of the IP addresses begins.

  7. When "Batch setting of the IP addresses is complete." is displayed, click the [OK] button.
