Registering and In order to register the host name of the AXIS 5400 in networks with Resolving dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)
Host Names and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Naming 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 AXIS 5400 using DHCP.
The host name of the AXIS 5400 is specified by the PS_NAME parameter. Refer to B The Parameter List, on page 139
WINS host name rules WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is longer than 15 characters, the AXIS 5400 truncates the host name to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server. You can view the AXIS 5400 host name that is registered at a WINS server, in the print server’s Web interface or in AXIS NetPilot. Refer to Section 9 Management & Configuration, on page 97.
DDNS host name rules DDNS supports 53 character long host names, but they can only consist of the characters
If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the
AXIS 5400 deletes the entry before registering.
Notes: ❏ The host name limitations conclude that if you want to register the same host name at a WINS server and a DDNS server, the host name should be no longer than 15 characters and it should only contain the characters ‘A - Z’,
❏Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions on how host name resolutions are performed on your system.
