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

If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base, the print 

server deletes that entry before registering.

Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using DHCP: 

1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The 

entries included in this scope should contain the following parameters:

• 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 print server automatically downloads the DHCP 

parameters. If you are using WINS or DNS, you should include at least one 
WINS or DNS server IP address in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the IP 
address has been received, the print server registers its host name and IP 
address on the WINS alternatively DNS server. Refer to 

Resolving Host Names” on page 16 for more information. The 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 print server 

receives its IP address.

3. You have now successfully set the IP address of your print server. Continue 

to 

•  The default host name of the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 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 PS_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.

You have to restart the print server to download the IP address.
