WINS Configuration

This screen appears when you click the WINS Configuration menu on the Network tab. It lets you change WINS settings. WINS (Windows Inter- net Name Service) makes it possible for a device, such as your network interface card, to register a NetBIOS name (like MLT_995243) along with its current IP address (like 192.9.200.200). A client wanting to contact the printer uses the WINS server to match the NetBIOS name with an IP ad- dress. Most users will find it easier to remember the NetBIOS name for the printer rather than its IP address.

Network Settings Chapter 3

Password	Input the password assigned to the network interface card. The
	initial factory default is sysadm. Clicking the Apply button after
	inputting the wrong password displays a password error mes-
	sage without changing the settings.
NetBIOS Name	The NetBIOS name for the network interface card is shown on
	this screen. The default NetBIOS name is the Network Inter-
	face Card’s serial number (for example, MLT_995243), unless
	you previously configured a name for the network interface
	card with DHCP.
	You may change the NetBIOS name here, by entering a new
	name. The name can be up to 15 characters long.
Primary WINS Server	If you previously configured a DHCP server to provide the net-
	work interface card with the IP address of the primary WINS
	server, this item shows the address. Otherwise, enter the IP
	address of the primary NetBIOS name server here.
Secondary WINS Server	You may also enter the IP address of a secondary NetBIOS
	name server, if you want. If you configured your DHCP server
	to provide the address of a secondary WINS server to the net-
	work interface card, the address fields are filled in with the ap-
	propriate information automatically.
