Registering and
Resolving
Host Names
In order to register the host name of the AXIS 5800+ Mobile 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 shou ld be used i f you are set ting the IP addres s of
the AXIS 5800+ Mob il e using DH C P .
The host name of the AXIS 5800+ Mobile is specified by the
PS_NAME parameter. Refer to “Parameter List” on page 151.
WINS host name rules WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host
name is longer than 15 characters, the AXIS 5800+ Mobile
truncates the host name to 15 characters when registe ring with a
WINS server. You can view the AXIS 5800+ Mobile host name
that is registered at a WINS server, in the print server’s Web
interface. Refer to Section 11 Management and Configuration,
on page 102.
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
5800+ Mobile host name that is registered at a DDNS server, in
the print server’s Web interface. Refer to Section 11
Management and Configuration, on page 102.
If the host name matches another entry in the DDNS data base,
the AXIS 5800 + Mob il e delet e s th e en t ry bef or e re gi st e rin g .
Notes: • 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 con tai n 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.

Setting the IP address
using Auto-IP
Auto-IP is another tool for setting the IP-address automatically
in the absence of a DHCP server. If you have a DHCP server
running on your network, the AXIS 5800+ Mobile will receive
an IP address immediately after you have connected it to the
network. In the absence of a DHCP server, your AXIS 5800+
Mobile print server will automatically be assigned an IP-address
through integrated Auto-IP. The Auto-IP address structure is:
169.254.xxx.xxx.
The Auto-IP function will only work when DHCP is enabled in
your Axis print server. This function is enabled automatically
upon installati on of a brand new print ser ver. The eas iest way to
make sure this function is enabled in your print server is to
perform a factory de fa ult . See Test Button, on page 144 for
instruction on how to do this. If you perform a factory default
on the AXIS 5800+ Mobile and DHCP is not available, Auto-IP
will automatically set the IP address of the print server.
