Configuring WINS

When running WINS, the printer registers its IP address and NetBIOS host name with a WINS server. WINS allows users to communicate with the printer using host name only, removing a significant overhead from the systems administrators.

To manually enable WINS and configure primary and secondary WINS servers through CentreWare IS:

1.Under Server Information, select Enabled to enable the protocol.

2.Type the IP Address in the Primary Server IP Address for your primary server.

3.If desired, type the IP Address in the Secondary Server IP Address for a secondary server. Note: If DHCP is configured, WINS IP Addresses will be overridden.

4.Click Apply.

Note: The settings are not applied until you restart the printer.

5.Click OK.
