To enable DHCP
●
When connecting to a network where each
machine's IP address is automatically
assigned to it by DHCP, set <DHCP> to 'On' .
NOTE
By setting <Auto IP> to 'On' , you can have the
machine automatically search the network (LAN)
being used for usable IP addresses and assign one to
the machine. This function bypasses the DHCP server
to automatically assign IP addresses, however the
machine cannot communicate over the router when
using this function.

Setting the DNS Server
DNS is the abbreviation of Domain Name
System, and is the function that binds an IP
address and a name (in this machine, host
name). By setting the DNS server address for
this machine, when accessing this machine
through the network, this machine is accessed
not by IP address but by a name such as
"iR-ADV XXXX."
When using DHCP, the IP address may change,
so it is necessary to update IP addresses bound
to names. In these cases, it is necessary to
configure "Dynamic Update" to update the
links between IP addresses and names.
A dynamic DNS server is required to use DNS
Dynamic Update.
This section describes how to specify the IPv4
settings.
1. Specify the following settings in <IPv4> →
press [Next].
To enable DNS Dynamic Update:
●
Enter the DNS server IPv4 address in
[Primary DNS Server].
To disable DNS Dynamic Update:
●
Enter [Primary DNS Server] and [Secondary
DNS Server].
NOTE
Secondary DNS Server:
The substitute DNS server that is used when the
primary DNS server cannot be used. If you do not
want to set the secondary DNS server, enter '0.0.0.0' .
When using DNS Dynamic Update, setting this is not
necessary.
2. Enter the [Host Name] and [Domain Name]
for <IPv4> → press [Next].
[Host Name]:
The name that appears on the network (the
machine's name, etc.)
[Domain Name]:
The network domain that this machine
belongs to
