You can set the IP address of your Axis Network Print Server using one of 

the following methods, depending on your network operating 

environment:

* The IP address of the print server will be set automatically using these 

methods.

In order to register the host name of the Axis Network Print Server in 

networks with dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet 

Name Service) and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Naming 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 Axis Network Print Server 

using DHCP.

The host name of the Axis Network Print Server is specified by the 

PS_NAME parameter. Refer to the “The Parameter List” on page 142.

WINS Host Name

Rules

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

longer than 15 characters, the Axis Network Print Server truncates the 

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

view the Axis Network Print Server host name that is registered at a 

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

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 the Axis Network Print Server host name that is

•  The ARP and RARP methods operate on single network segments only, that is they cannot 

be used over routers.

•  The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10 

minutes after rebooting the print server

•  Refer to “Setting Parameters” on page 47 for information about setting the IP address in
