Dynamic IP Address Support for Printers in NetSuite 2023.2

Starting in NetSuite 2023.2, you can now enable dynamic IP printing for more flexible mobile printing solutions. This feature allows you to add dynamic IP addresses to a safelist, facilitating the usage of mobile printers in environments where IP addresses may frequently change. With the new settings, administrators can configure the safelist to include up to 100 IP addresses or a range of addresses simultaneously.

Overview of Dynamic IP Address Support

Dynamic IP Address support is a pivotal enhancement for organizations that rely on mobile printing. Many companies today operate in dynamic network environments where IP addresses can change frequently. This flexibility ensures that printing operations remain uninterrupted, thereby increasing efficiency.

How to Enable Dynamic IP Printing

To utilize this feature, you must activate the 'Enable Dynamic IP Printing' setting in the security configuration. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

1. Navigate to the security settings in your NetSuite account.
2. Locate the 'Enable Dynamic IP Printing' option.
3. Activate the setting.
4. Add the required dynamic IP addresses to your safelist. You can input:
   • Individual IP addresses
   • IP address ranges
5. Save your changes to apply the settings.

This adjustment minimizes downtime by ensuring that printers can connect regardless of the dynamic nature of the IP address assigned.

Best Practices for Managing Dynamic IP Addresses

• Regularly review the safelist: Periodically assess the IP addresses included in the safelist to ensure they are current and reflect your network environment.
• Limit access: Only include necessary IP addresses to maintain a secure printing environment.
• Documentation: Keep detailed records of dynamic IP address changes that may affect your printing operations.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Configuration and management of dynamic printing settings.
• Developers: Integration of mobile printing solutions into existing applications.
• Procurement and Supply Chain: Utilizing efficient printing solutions to handle orders and inventory operations.
