Additional Printing & Configuration Options 8-5
8.3 Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
WINS provides a mechanism for mapping NetBIOS (Windows) names to IP
addresses. Implementation of WINS enables defining a printing configuration which
references the printer by its name rather than by its IP address. Thus, even if the
printer IP address is changed via DHCP, the printing configuration will still be valid
and printing will continue uninterrupted.
Another advantage of WINS is that a new printer may replace an old printer simply by
giving the new printer the same NetBIOS name as the old printer or by entering the
new printer’s NetBIOS name in the Windows printing configuration.
8.3.1 WINS Registration and Naming
The 3000E must be given the address of the primary WINS server where it will
register its NetBIOS name. It may optionally be given the address of a secondary
WINS server. The 3000E obtains its NetBIOS name and addresses of the WINS
servers from the DHCP server, or, if not obtained from the DHCP server, they must be
manually entered on the 3000E HTML configuration pages. If the 3000E NetBIOS
name is not obtained by either of these methods, then the 3000E will register its
default name of KYO_<serial #>, e.g. KYO_990442.
Refer to your DHCP server documentation for the proper procedures to provide the
3000E with its NetBIOS name and/or WINS server addresses, or refer to the following
procedure to manually configure these values.
8.3.2 3000E Configuration with HTML
1. Connect to the 3000E with a web browser by entering the IP address/tcpip as the
URL, e.g. http://206.129.6.54/tcpip
2. For DHCP with WINS, IP persistence should be Temporary; the check box next to
IP Address in NVRAM should be unchecked. If Permanent IP persistence is
desired, this box should be checked.
WARNING: If the 3000E IP persistence is set to Permanent and the DHCP server
assigns a temporary lease, the 3000E IP address may be assigned to another
device once the lease expires, resulting in two devices with the same IP
address. Changing or confirming the IP address with the printer front panel
(by pressing Enter twice while the IP address is displayed) automatically
sets the IP persistence to Permanent.
