This setup guide provides instructions for connecting the Xerox WorkCentre M118/M118i on an Ethernet TCP/IP network. It includes procedures for setting up the network connection using either of the following methods:
DHCP: Use this method to allow a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address. This is the factory default setting. Static IP address: Use this method to manually assign an IP address provided by the network administrator.
Note The System Administrator Guide provides detailed instructions for setting up a network connection. If you are using Novell IPX, refer to the System Administrator Guide for setup procedures.

Before You Begin

Before turning on the machine:
Confirm that an existing operational network utilizing TCP/IP is available. Confirm that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the machine and is connected to an operational Ethernet port on the network. Note The RJ45 Ethernet cable is not supplied by Xerox.

Navigating Display Screens
1. Use the Select buttons to select items on the display and to scroll through menus. 2. Use the Right Arrow and Left Arrow buttons to navigate screens or to move from one entry field to another. 3. Use the Enter button to accept the currently selected item on the display. 4. Use the Exit button to return to the previous display screen.

Network Setup Using DHCP

When the machine starts up after power on, it automatically uses DHCP to obtain its network configuration information. A DHCP server delivers an IP address as well as other configuration settings to the machine. To set up the network connection using DHCP: 1. Turn on the machine. 2. After the machine starts up, it negotiates with the DHCP server for an IP address. Wait two minutes for the network setup to complete, and then print the System Settings List: a. On the control panel, press the Machine Status button. b. User the Select button below the display to highlight Report/List, and then press the Enter button. c. Press the Right Arrow button. d. Press the Select button until you see System Settings on the display, and then press the Enter button. e. Press the Start button to print the System Settings List. 3. In the Communications Settings section of the System Settings List, confirm that an IP address has been allocated and that it is an appropriate IP address for your network. Note If the IP address starts with 167.xxx.xxx.xxx, the DHCP server has not properly allocated an address or DHCP is not enabled on your network. Contact your network administrator for assistance. 4. Use CentreWare IS to verify the network setup. See Verifying Network Setup Using CentreWare Internet Services (IS) on page 4.

Network Setup Using a Static IP Address
When the machine is powered on, it automatically uses DHCP to obtain its network configuration. To use a static IP address, DHCP must be turned off and the IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, and DNS Server address must be entered manually.
Pre-Requisites for Using a Static IP Address
Before you begin, obtain the following information from your network administrator:
IP Address: Gateway Address: Subnet Mask: DNS Server Address: __________. __________. __________. __________ __________. __________. __________. __________ __________. __________. __________. __________ __________. __________. __________. __________
Connecting the Machine Using a Static IP Address
1. Turn on the machine. 2. When the machine is Ready, press the Log In/Out button. 3. Press the Select button below the display to select System Settings. a. Use the numeric keypad to enter the Password. The default password is 11111. b. Press the Select button to select Confirm.

Turn DHCP Off

See Verifying Network Setup Using CentreWare Internet Services (IS) on page 4.
CentreWare IS provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop using an embedded web server. CentreWare IS gives administrators easy access to printer status, configuration, and diagnostic functions. It also provides users with access to printer status and special printing functions such as printing saved jobs. With CentreWare IS software, you can access and manage your printers over a TCP/IP network using a web browser. Note To enter network configuration settings via CentreWare IS, your computer must be on the same subnet as the Xerox WorkCentre M118/M118i. For additional information about using CentreWare IS, see the User Guide and the System Administrator Guide. To verify your network setup using CentreWare IS: 1. 2. 3. 4. At your computer, launch your web browser. Enter the machines IP address in the browsers Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Click the Properties tab. Select the Protocol Settings folder on the left sidebar, and then select TCP/IP.
