Using the Dynamic DNS Function

Dynamic DNS is a function which dynamically updates (registers and deletes) records (A record and PTR
record) managed by the DNS server. When a DNS server is part of the network environment to which this
printer, a DNS client, is connected, records can be dynamically updated using this function.
Updating
10
Updating procedure varies depending on whether the printer IP address is static or acquired by DHCP.
When the dynamic DNS function is not used, records managed by the DNS server must be updated
manually, if the printer's IP address is changed.
To update the record using the printer, the DNS server has to have one of the following:
• No security settings made.
• If security settings are made, an IP-specified client (this printer) permits updating.
For a static IP setting
If the IP address or host name is changed, the A and PTR records are updated.
If the A record is registered, CNAME is also registered. CNAMEs that can be registered are as follows:
• Ethernet and IEEE 802.11b
RNPXXXXXX (XXXXXX represents the last 3 hexadecimal bytes of the MAC address)
