TCP/IP Addressing and Name Resolution  B1a

Note: This procedure should have been performed when the device was first installed on the network. The procedure is repeated here to provide instructions for changing TCP/IP addresses and the method used for Host or NetBIOS name resolution (DNS or WINS).

1. Select Logon... from the Logon menu.
2. Select System Administrator as the user from the User drop-down list box.
3. Enter the System Administrator password (administ, for example). If necessary, refer to your Xerox Service Representative for the initial logon password. Note: To maintain security, all logon passwords should be changed after the system has been installed.
4. Select OK.
5. From the system's Setup menu, select Network Configuration.
6. If it is not already enabled by factory default, click on the Enable IP check box to enable it with a check mark.
7. DHCP is the TCP/IP addressing method enabled by factory default. When this system was first powered on, it should have contacted your DHCP server and obtained an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway address. These items should now be displayed on screen. If they are not, click Apply to let the system contact your DHCP server. Otherwise, click on the IP Configuration Method selection arrow to set a static IP address as stated below.
8. If DHCP addressing was unsuccessful, or is not desired, select Static IP Configuration.
9. Select the IP Address tab.
10. In the available text boxes enter in a valid IP Address for this device, the Subnet Mask for your network, and the Default Gateway address (if used) for your network. Click Apply or OK to save your settings.
11. In the Hostname box, if you will be communicating with this device over the Internet, or are using DNS, WINS, or NIS to resolve host names to IP Addresses on your network, enter in a unique host name for this device.
12. If you will be using DNS for Host name resolution on your network, select the DNS tab.

If it is not already enabled by factory default, click on the Enable DNS check box to enable it with a check mark.
Click on the Enable Dynamic DNS Registration check box if your network uses a dynamic DNS server to automatically update host name to IP address mapping.
In the Domain Name box, type in the domain that this device resides in (for example, Xerox.com).
In the Hostname box, note that this read only name is the same as the unique host name that was entered on the IP Address tab.
In the DNS Server list, provide the IP addresses of up to three DNS servers to search when resolving host names to IP addresses.
In the Domain Search list, provide the names of other domains to search, if needed, to resolve the host name.
Click Apply or OK to save your settings.

13. If you will be using WINS for NetBIOS name resolution on your Microsoft network, select the WINS tab.

Click on the Enable WINS check box to enable it with a check mark.
In the two boxes supplied, type in the IP addresses of the Primary and Secondary (if used) WINS Servers for resolution of NetBIOS names to IP addresses on the Microsoft network.
Click Apply or OK to save your settings.

14. If you will be using NIS to distribute password, group, or host address information on your UNIX network, select the NIS/NIS+ tab.
