Network Configuration Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) are systems that map host names to IP addresses. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols. Click IP (Internet Protocol) > DNS. Under Host Name, type a unique name for your printer. If the host name successfully registers to the DNS server, the host name appears under Verified Host Name.
Page 25
Network Configuration Note: If no domain name, or a different domain name appears, the domain name did not successfully register to the DNS server. Ensure that your network supports direct client DNS name registration, or configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients. Configure your DNS server to allow dynamic updates.
Network Configuration Printers use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network without prior configuration. When SLP is enabled, the printer becomes a Service Agent (SA) and announces its services to User Agents (UA) on the network using SLP. Directory Agents (DA) are components that cache services.
Network Configuration SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of network protocols designed to allow you to manage and monitor devices on your network. You can use the SNMP configuration pages in CentreWare Internet Services to: Enable or disable Authentication Failure Generic Traps. ...
Network Configuration In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols. Click SNMP. Under SNMP Properties, click Edit SNMPv1/v2c Properties.

Network Configuration Proxy Server A proxy server acts as a go-between for clients seeking services and servers that provide them. The proxy server filters client requests and if the requests meet the proxy server filtering rules, it grants the request and allows the connection.
Network Configuration The Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronizes the internal clocks of computers over a network connection at system startup and every subsequent 24-hour period thereafter. If your printer uses DHCP and an NTP server, or if a DHCP server provides Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset, these settings are ignored.
Network Configuration Web Services for Devices (WSD) is technology from Microsoft that provides a standard method for discovering and using network connected devices. It is supported in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. WSD is one of several supported communication protocols. WSD services include a group of Web services that allow devices to discover the printer and print and transfer files remotely.

Security 802.1X 802.1X is an Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard that defines a method for port-based network access control or authentication. In an 802.1X secured network, the printer must be authenticated by a central authority, typically a RADIUS server, before it can access the physical network. You can enable and configure the printer to be used in an 802.1X secured network from the printer control panel or in CentreWare Internet Services.
