AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User’s Manual

Manual IP Address

Assignment

In order to register the host name of the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 in 

networks with dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet 

Name Service) and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name 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 print server using DHCP.

The host name of the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 is specified by the 

PS_NAME. parameter. Refer to the “The Parameter List” on page 137.

WINS Host Name

Rules

WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is 

longer than 15 characters, the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 truncates the host 

name to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server. You can view 

the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 host name that is registered at a WINS server 

in the print server’s Web interface. Refer to “Management and 

DDNS Host Name

Rules

DDNS supports 47 character long host names and can only consist of the 

characters ‘A-Z’, ’a-z’, ’0-9’ and ‘-’. If your host name consists of any 

other characters, they are converted to ‘-’ when registering with a DDNS 

server. You can view which host name that is registered at a DDNS server 

ARP/Ping

Windows

Requires the IP address for each 
device to be downloaded 
individually. Cannot be used 
over routers. 

You must define the 

Router and Subnet Mask. Log 
in to the print server’s Web 
pages and select 

Network Settings | Detailed 
View | TCP/IP Network | 
Default Router and Subnet
