7.3 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP is a service that provides a method for assigning and maintaining IP addresses. The
Network Interface Board obtains IP information from this service.
There are two user-defined variables related to the DHCP function:
• DHCP enable
• Use IP info in NVRAM
These variables are accessible in the TCP section of Network Administration, in the
HTML pages.
If DHCP is not enabled:
• The Network Interface Board makes no DHCP requests under any circumstances.
If DHCP is enabled:
• The Network Interface Board makes DHCP requests when the Network Interface
Board is reset or on power up, provided that the Network Interface Board does not
have an IP address stored or that "Use IP info in NVRAM" is OFF.
• If the Network Interface Board has an IP address in NVRAM and "Use IP
info in NVRAM" is ON, the Network Interface Board uses the IP information
from NVRAM and there is no DHCP activity on the part of the Network Interface
Board.
The factory default is DHCP disabled and "Use IP info in NVRAM" is set ON.
When DHCP is enabled and IP address in NVRAM is set OFF, the Network Interface
Board issues DHCP requests if it does not already have IP identification information
stored in NVRAM.

7.4 Windows Internet Name Service (WINS/DHCP)

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) allows a device, such as your print server, to
register a NetBIOS name such as the Network Interface Board serial number (six digits
with a three-letter prefix) along with its current IP address (for example, 199.92.187.171).
A client that wants to contact the printer uses the WINS server to match the NetBIOS
name with an IP address. Most users find it easier to remember the NetBIOS name for the
printer rather than its IP address.
