Configuring A Wins Server - Gestetner CP6244 Operating Instructions Manual

Appendix
Additional information
• When you click [Active Lease] on the [Scope] menu of DHCP manager, a list of
client leases appears. When the reserved IP address is not active, the name of
the reservation is the name entered in the Client Name field of the Add Re-
served Clients dialog box. When the reserved IP address becomes active, the
client name changes to the printer name configured by the Network Interface
Board. Only the first 13 letters of the printer name appear here. When you use
the machine with SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin, use the host name of the
machine as the [Client Properties] Client Properties dialog box.
• When the DHCP server does not assign an IP address, the Network Interface
Board uses 11.22.33.44 as a temporary IP address. You can confirm the ma-
chine's IP address on the system configuration list.
• Because 11.22.33.44 is a special IP address, you cannot print using this ad-
dress.
• When using the DHCP relay agent in a network environment that uses a dial
up router to connect to the Network Interface Board, an increase in commu-
nication fees can occur.

Configuring a WINS Server

The machine can be configured to register its NetBIOS name with a WINS server
7
when power is turned on. This enables the NetBIOS name of the machine to be
specified from SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin even in a DHCP environment.
This section describes how to configure the WINS server.
Note
WINS Server is supported with Windows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 4 or lat-
er, and Windows 2000 Servers WINS Manager.
For more information about settings of WINS Server, see Windows Help.
If there is no reply from the WINS Server, the NetBIOS name will be regis-
tered by broadcast.
The NetBIOS name consists of up to 13 alphanumeric characters.
