DNS Settings (IPv4 Settings)

Return to Overview

DNS (Domain Name Service) is a service used for associating a host name (which is a name of a computer or a printer on a TCP/IPv4 network) with a unique IPv4 address.


Remark
  • To set the machine to a network with the LASER CLASS 810, an optional network printer kit is required.

  • The DNS dynamic update function enables the machine to register its IP address, host name, and domain name to the DNS server automatically. This function is available in the environment where there is a dynamic DNS server.
  • To use the DNS dynamic update function, enter the IP address of a DNS server, and the host name and domain name of the machine.
  • If you have a DHCP server running Windows 2000 Server that uses the DHCP service and want to register the machine's DNS record, configure the following settings in the DHCP server:
  • Under the DHCP server, right-click the [Scope] icon → click [Properties]. In the [DNS] sheet of the displayed dialog box, select [Automatically update DHCP client information in DNS] → [Update DNS only if DHCP client requests].
  • If you have a DHCP server running Windows 2003 Server that uses the DHCP service and want to register the machine's DNS record, configure the following settings in the DHCP server:
  • Under the DHCP server, right-click the [Scope] icon → click [Properties]. In the [DNS] sheet of the displayed dialog box, select [Enable DNS dynamic updates according to the settings below] → [Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records only if requested by the DHCP clients].
