Associated MDP Addresses Add the MFP devices that will be associated to this group by entering the IP Address or host name of the MFP in the MFP address list. The MFP address list must contain at least one MFP.
Using the network name is preferable because the IP address can change if IP addresses are assigned using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
