IP Address Host Names
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the IP address. Refer to your
system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions on how to perform name
mapping on your system.
Notes
• You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 1650 to perform the installation. The Ethernet address is
based on the serial number of your AXIS 1650. For example, an AXIS 1650 with the serial number of
00408C181CF0, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 18 1C F0. The serial number is
located on a label on the backside of the print server.
• DO NOT use the IP addresses shown in the following examples when installing the AXIS 1650.
• ARP/Ping operates on single network segments only, i.e. it cannot be used over routers.
• The default host name of the print server is ’AXIS’ followed by the last 6 digits in the serial number. e.g.
AXIS181636. The host name is changed in the Print server name field in Admin | General Settings.
• 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.
• At least one WINS server IP address must be included in the DHCP scope if you are using WINS. Immediately
after the IP address has been received, the AXIS 1650 registers its host name and IP address on the WINS
server.
• If the host name has not been mapped to the IP address, you can still perform the following instructions to
download the IP address. In this case, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address wherever
required.
