In order to register the host name of the print server in networks with
dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)
and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) are supported. It is
recommended that at least one of these methods should be used if
you are setting the IP address of the print server using DHCP.
The host name of the print server is specified by the PS_NAME.
parameter. Refer to the The Parameter List, on page 55.
WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name
is longer than 15 characters, the print server truncates the host name
to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server. You can view
the print server host name that is registered at a WINS server in the
print server's Web interface. Refer to Print Server Management
Methods, on page 36.
DDNS supports 47 character long host names and can only consist of
the characters 'A-Z', 'a-z', '0-9' and '-'. If your host name consists of
any other characters, they are converted to '-' when registering with
a DDNS server. You can view which host name that is registered at a
DDNS server in the print server's Web interface. Refer to Print Server
Management Methods, on page 36.
If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the
print server deletes that entry before registering.
You need root privileges a Windows NT server to:
•
set the IP address using RARP, DHCP
•
add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'
