Using in the IPv4 environment
Overview
To use this machine by connecting it to the IPv4 network, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.
Setting the method to assign an IP address to this machine
For details on how to assign an IP address, refer to Here.
If you resolve the name using the host name when accessing a computer or server on the network from this machine, register your DNS server address to this machine.
For details on how to register the DNS server, refer to Here.
When you are using the DHCP server, information of the DNS server used for resolving the name may be able to be obtained automatically.
If your DNS server supports the Dynamic DNS function, register the host name and domain name of this machine and enable Dynamic DNS, if necessary.
For details on how to register the host name of this machine, refer to Here.
For details on how to register the domain name, refer to Here.
Assigning an IP address
To use this machine in the IPv4 network environment, assign an IP address to this machine.
In the administrator mode, select [Network] - [TCP/IP Setting] - [TCP/IP Setting], then configure the following settings.
Settings | Description |
|---|---|
[TCP/IP] | Select [ON] to use the TCP/IP. [ON] is specified by default. |
[Network Speed] | Select the network speed according to your environment. [Auto (10M/100Mbps)] is specified by default.. |
[IP Address Setting Method] | To manually enter the IP address, select [Manual Setting]. To automatically obtain the IP address, select [Auto Setting], then specify the auto input method. In normal circumstances, select the [DHCP] check box. [Auto Setting] is specified by default. |
[IP Address] | If you select [Manual Setting] for [IP Address Setting Method], enter the fixed IP address assigned to the machine. |
[Subnet Mask] | If you select [Manual Setting] for [IP Address Setting Method], enter the subnet mask. |
[Default Gateway] | If you select [Manual Setting] for [IP Address Setting Method], enter the default gateway. |
Registering the DNS server used by this machine
If you resolve the name using the host name when accessing a computer or server on the network from this machine, register your DNS server address to this machine.
In the administrator mode, select [Network] - [TCP/IP Setting] - [TCP/IP Setting], then configure the following settings.
Settings | Description |
|---|---|
[DNS Server Auto Obtain] | To manually enter the DNS server address, select [Disable]. When using the DHCP, select [Enable]. Then, the DNS server address is automatically obtained from the DHCP server. [Enable] is specified by default. |
[Primary DNS Server] | Enter the address of your primary DNS server. |
[Secondary DNS Server1] to [Secondary DNS Server2] | When using multiple DNS servers, enter the address of your secondary DNS server. |
Registering the host name
If your DNS server supports the Dynamic DNS function, registering the host name to this machine enables the DNS server to resolve the host name and IP address name dynamically. Doing this enables a computer on the network to connect to this machine using the host name.
In the administrator mode, select [Network] - [TCP/IP Setting] - [TCP/IP Setting], then configure the following settings.
Settings | Description |
|---|---|
[DNS Host Name] | Enter the host name of this machine (using up to 63 characters, including only - for symbol marks). Any symbol cannot be prefixed or suffixed to the host name. |
[Dynamic DNS Setting] | Select [Enable] to use the Dynamic DNS function. If your DNS server supports the Dynamic DNS function, the set host name can be automatically registered to the DNS server or changes can be automatically updated. [Disable] is specified by default. |
Registering the domain name
Register the name of a domain this machine joins.
In the administrator mode, select [Network] - [TCP/IP Setting] - [TCP/IP Setting], then configure the following settings.
Settings | Description |
|---|---|
[DNS Domain Auto Obtain] | When using the DHCP, the domain name can be automatically specified. Select [Enable] to automatically configure setting. [Enable] is specified by default. |
[DNS Search Domain Name Auto Retrieval] | When using the DHCP, the search domain name can be automatically specified. Select [Enable] to automatically configure setting. [Enable] is specified by default. |
[DNS Default Domain Name] | When not automatically configuring setting using DHCP, enter the default domain name of this machine (using up to 253 bytes including the host name. Only - and . are allowed for symbol marks). |
[DNS Search Domain Name1] to [DNS Search Domain Name3] | When not automatically configuring setting using DHCP, enter the search domain name (using up to 63 characters, including only - and . for symbol marks). |
