Getting Started
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ WINS Server
If a WINS server is running, the fax machine registers the host name and IP
address to the WINS server, and renews them periodically. Computers with
the WINS client function allow you to communicate with the fax machine us-
ing the host name instead of the IP address. To use a WINS server, you need
to specify the WINS server address. See p.37 "WINS Server Addr. (WINS
Server Address)".

Note
❒ Servers that have been confirmed to work as WINS server are Windows
NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 4 and higher, and Windows 2000 Server.
❒ WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) associates the IP address allocat-
ed to the device on network with the computer name (host name).
❒ This function searches for NIC FAX using the name from your computer.
You cannot inquire the computer name from NIC FAX with the WINS
server.
❒ Only the scope ID allocated by the DHCP server is available.
