Configuring DNS

Domain Name System (DNS) is a system that maps host names to IP addresses.
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Setup.
2. Under Network, next to a connection type, click Edit.
Note: The printer uses separate IPv4, IPv6, and DNS settings for wired and wireless network
connections. Before configuring wireless IP settings, install the Xerox
and connect to a wireless network. For details, see
Under Configuration Settings, next to IP, click Edit.
3.
4. To configure DNS, click DNS.
5. Under Requested 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. The default host
name is XRXxxx, where xxx is the MAC address of the printer.
Note: If no host name or a different host name appears, the host name did not successfully register
to the DNS server. Configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients.
6. Under Requested Domain Name, type the name of the domain to which the printer is connected. If
the domain name successfully registers to the DNS server, the domain name appears under Verified
Domain Name.
Note: If no domain name, or a different domain name appears, the domain name did not
successfully register to the DNS server. Configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of
the DHCP clients.
7. To allow users to see and connect to the printer using Bonjour, under Multicast DNS Registration,
select Enabled.
Under Release this connection's DHCP leases and DNS registrations, select Enabled as needed. This
8.
option allows the printer to send a release request to the DHCP and DNS servers. If the servers grant
the request, the current IP address and any dynamic DNS names are released. IP addresses and
DNS names are released and renewed immediately and when the printer is turned off.
9. Under Additional DNS Server Addresses, type addresses as needed. If you have a DHCP server,
recognized addresses appear in the DNS Server Addresses list.
10. Under DNS Connection Timeout, type the time in seconds that the printer waits if it fails to connect
to a DNS server. After the timeout period, the printer attempts to connect to any additional DNS
servers.
11. To add the printer domain to the Domain Name Search List, under Append Device Domain, select
Enabled.
12. To add the parent domains of the printer to the Domain Name Search List, under Append Parent
Domains, select Enabled.
13. If you have a DHCP server, recognized search domain names appear in a list under Domain Name
Search List. The list of domain names allows the DNS server to recognize unqualified host names. If
you want the printer to search for other domain names, type the domain names under Additional
Search Domains.
14. To use an IPv6 address before using an IPv4 address, select Prefer IPv6 Address over IPv4.
15. Click Apply.
