Registering and In order to register the host name of the Axis Network Print Server in Resolving networks with dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet
Host Names Name Service) 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 Network Print Server using DHCP.
The host name of the Axis Network Print Server is specified by the
PS_NAME parameter. Refer to the “The Parameter List” on page 142.
WINS Host Name WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is Rules longer than 15 characters, the Axis Network Print Server truncates the
host name to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server. You can view the Axis Network Print Server host name that is registered at a WINS server, in the print server’s Web interface. Refer to “Management and Configuration” on page 92.
DDNS Host Name DDNS supports 47 character long host names and can only consist of the Rules characters
