DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) are systems that map host
names to IP addresses.
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols.
Click IP (Internet Protocol) > DNS.
2.
3. Under Requested Host Name, type a unique name for your printer. If the host name successfully
registers to the DNS server, the host name appears under Verified Host Name. The default host
name is XRX_xxx, where xxx is the MAC address of the printer.
Note: If no host name, or a different host name appears under Verified Host Name, the host name did not
successfully register to the DNS server. Ensure that your network supports direct client DNS name
registration, or configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients.
Configure your DNS server to allow dynamic updates.
4. Under Domain Name, type the name of the domain to which the printer is connected. If the domain
name successfully registers to the DNS server, the domain name appears under Verified Domain
Name.
Note: If no domain name, or a different domain name appears, the domain name did not successfully
register to the DNS server. Ensure that your network supports direct client DNS name registration, or
configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients. Configure your DNS
server to allow dynamic updates.
5. If desired, under Dynamic DNS Registration of IPv4 Address, or Dynamic DNS Registration of IPv6
Address, select Enabled. This option allows your DDNS server to register the host name of the printer
automatically. If you change the host name in CentreWare Internet Services, the registered host
name is updated on your DDNS server. If your network does not support dynamic name addressing,
clear the Enabled check box.
Note: Manage host names in your DNS server manually.
6. If needed, under Remove this Device's IPv4 DHCP Lease and DNS Registration at power down, select
Enabled. This option allows the printer to send a release request to the DHCP and DNS servers. If the
servers grant the request, the current IP address and any dynamic DNS name are released when the
printer is turned off.
7. Under Remove this Device's IPv6 DHCP Lease and DNS Registration at power down, select Enabled
as needed. This option allows the printer to release the current DCHP-assigned address and any DNS
name when the printer is turned off.
8. To allow users to see and connect to the printer using Bonjour, under Multicast DNS Registration,
select Enabled.
9. If you have a DHCP server, and the printer recognizes your DNS server, the address appears under
DNS Server Addresses. If you want to use other DNS servers, type the IPv4 or IPv6 server address
under Additional DNS Server Addresses.
