If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must obtain
an unused IP address from your network administrator.
DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when installing your
AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e. Always consult your network administrator before
assigning an IP address to your AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e.
In order to register the host name of the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e in
networks with dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet
Name Service) and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Naming System) are
supported. It is recommended that at least one of these methods be
used when setting the IP address of the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e
using DHCP.
The host name of the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e is specified by the
PS_NAME parameter. Refer to The Parameter List, on page 295.
WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name
is longer than 15 characters, the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e truncates
the host name to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server.
You can view the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e host name that is
registered at a WINS server, in the print server's Web interface. Refer
to Section 10 Management and Configuration, on page 180.
DDNS supports 53 character long host names, but they can only
consist of the characters 'A-Z', 'a-z' and '-'. If your host name consists
of any other characters, they are converted to '-', when registering
with a DDNS server. You can view the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e host
name that is registered at a DDNS server, in the print server's Web
interface. Refer to Section 10 Management and Configuration, on
page 180.
If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the
AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e deletes the entry before registering.
