Assigning a

Host Name to the

Internet Address

If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the 
acquired Internet address. Refer to your system manuals or to your 
network administrator for instructions on how name mapping is 
performed on your system.

The AXIS 1440 supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), 
which is recommended when you are using DHCP in a Windows NT 
network to set the Internet address.

❏ If a host name has not been mapped to the Internet address, you 

can still download the Internet address to your AXIS 1440 using 
the steps described in Using DHCP in Windows below. Just 
replace the host name entries with the Internet address wherever 
necessary.

Using DHCP in

Windows

Follow these steps to use DHCP to download the Internet address: 

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 Internet addresses

•

subnet  mask

•

default router Internet address

•

WINS server Internet address(es)

•

lease duration

2. Activate the scope.

The AXIS 1440 automatically downloads the DHCP parameters. 

If you intend to use WINS, at least one WINS server Internet address 
must be included in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the Internet 
address is received, the AXIS 1440 registers its host name and Internet 
address on the WINS server.
