Creating a DHCP
network environment
Notes:
• The default host name of the print server is 'AXIS' followed by the last 6 digits
in the serial number. e.g. AXIS181636. The host name (Print server name) can
be changed in the PS_NAME. field on the Admin | General Settings page.
• The host name limitations conclude that if you want to register the same host
name at a WINS server and a DDNS server, the host name should be no longer
than 15 characters and it should only contain the characters 'A-Z', 'a-z', '0-9'
and '-'.
• Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions
on how host name resolutions are performed on your system.
Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using
DHCP:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP
daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the
following parameters:
• range of IP addresses
• subnet mask
• default router IP address
• WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es)
• lease duration
2. Activate the scope. The print server automatically downloads the
DHCP parameters. If you are using WINS or DDNS, you should
include at least one WINS or DNS server IP address in the DHCP
scope. Immediately after the IP address has been received, the print
server registers its host name and IP address on the WINS
alternatively DNS server. Refer to Registering and Resolving Host
Names, on page 49 for more information. The print server can
automatically download a customized config file from a TFTP
server. Just add the name of the config file and the TFTP server's
IP address to your DHCP scope. The config file is downloaded
immediately after the print server receives its IP address.
