DNS/WINS Configuration Options ............................................................................................................................... 27
Domain Name System (DNS) is a system that maps host names to IP addresses. Windows Internet
Name Service (WINS) allows the printer to register its IP address and NetBIOS Host Name with a WINS
server. When WINS is configured, the printer uses only the host name to communicate.
You can obtain DNS/WINS settings from the DHCP or BOOTP server when enabled.
Note:
Before you change the DNS/WINS settings, contact your network administrator.
DNS/WINS Configuration Options
Name/Domain Name
The hostname is the printer name registered with DDNS and WINS that identifies it on the network. The
domain name is the server location that the printer uses to communicate with other devices.
•
The default hostname derives from the printer Ethernet address.
•
You can set the hostname and the domain name, however if BOOTP/DHCP is enabled,
BOOTP/DHCP can override these values.
DNS Configuration
You can use DNS configuration to define up to four name servers that are detectable by an IPv4 or IPv6
server.
•
DNS configuration requires a name server.
•
The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 through 255.
•
A value of all zeros indicates that no server is configured. If both primary and secondary name
servers are undefined, the printer broadcasts (peer-to-peer) name recognition.
•
BOOTP/DHCP can override the IPv6 name server information.
When Dynamic DNS is enabled, the printer can update the DNS server.
•
If your DNS server supports dynamic address updates, for Dynamic DNS Registration, select the
check box.
•
To release the assigned hostname and IP address so that the server can use it for another device,
select Release Hostname Now!.
Note:
If you select Release Hostname Now, the connection to the printer can be lost.
