6.6Windows Internet Name Service (WINS/DHCP)

6.6.1Using WINS with your Print Server

WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) allows a device, such as your print server, to register a NetBIOS name (for example, KXP_993011) along with its current IP address (for example, 199.92.187.171). A client that wishes to contact the printer uses the WINS server to match the NetBIOS name with an IP address. Most users will find it easier to remember the NetBIOS name for the printer rather than its IP address.

To use WINS with your Print Server, you need to enter the IP address of the WINS Server on the TCP/IP configuration screen. This screen is accessible through the Web browser or MAP utility.

6.6.2 Configuring for the WINS Server

You can configure your DHCP Server to automatically provide WINS Server information to the print server, or you can use the print server’s TCP/IP Configuration Menu to manually enter the necessary information. Refer to your DHCP Server’s documentation for further information on automatic configuration through the DHCP Server.

To manually configure your print server to work with the WINS server:

1.Assign an IP address to the print server. Use MAP, ARP, DHCP or RARP to assign the IP address.

2.Use an IP browser to access the print server’s TCP/IP Configuration Menu, by entering the print server’s IP address in the Open Location window.

3.Choose TCP/IP Configuration from the Main Menu.

4.The NetBIOS Name for the print server will be shown on this screen. The NetBIOS name will be the print server’s serial number by default (for example, KXP_993011), unless you have previously configured a name for the print server with DHCP.

You may change the NetBIOS Name here, by entering a new name. The name must be 15 characters or less in length.
