Notes:

•The default host name of the Axis Network Print Server is ’AXIS’ followed by the last 6 digits in the serial number. e.g. AXIS181636. The host name (Print server name) can be changed in the Print Server Name field on the Admin General Settings page.

•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’, ‘a-z’, ’0-9’ and ‘-’.

•Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions on how host name resolutions are performed on your system.

Setting the IP Address using DHCP

•range of IP addresses

•subnet mask

•default router IP address

•WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es)

•lease duration

2.Activate the scope. The Axis Network Print Server automatically downloads the DHCP parameters. If you are using WINS or DDNS, you should include at least one WINS or DDNS server IP address in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the IP address has been received, the Axis Network Print Server

registers its host name and IP address on the WINS alternatively DDNS server. Refer to “Registering and Resolving Host Names” on page 17 for more information. The Axis Network Print Server can automatically download a customized config file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the TFTP server’s IP address to your DHCP scope. The config file is downloaded immediately after the Axis Network Print Server receives its IP address.

3.You have now successfully set the IP address of your Axis Network Print Server. Continue to “Configuring your Print Server” on page 26.
