Configure, Modify or Verify Domain Name System (DNS) Settings

Domain Name System (DNS) is a system that maps host names to IP addresses. This setting may be configured from the Control Panel or using the Embedded Web Server (EWS). Select your preferred method to configure, modify or verify the setting.

Control Panel

1. Login as Administrator at the Control Panel. For additional information, click on Access and Login or Logout as System Administrator at the Control Panel or Embedded Web Server (EWS).
   

2. At the control panel touch screen, touch Device, then touch Tools.

3. Touch Network Settings→TCP/IP Settings.

4. Touch DNS Configuration.

   1. Touch Host Name.

   2. Type a host name.

   3. Touch OK.

   4. Touch Close. 
      
      Note: If DHCP is enabled, your DHCP server can provide the Domain Name and the Requested Domain Name.
      
      

   5. Touch Domain Name.

   6. For Requested Domain Name, type the domain name.

   7. Touch OK.

   8. Touch Close.

5. 4. Touch DNS Servers.

   1. Touch Primary DNS Server, type the server address, then touch OK.

   2. Touch Alternate DNS Server #1, type the server address, then touch OK.

   3. Touch Alternate DNS Server #2, type the server address, then touch OK.

   4. Touch Close. 
      
      Note: If DHCP is enabled, you can configure the DHCP server to provide the DNS server IP addresses.
      
      

6. Touch Close again.

7. To apply the settings, touch Finish.

8. Logout as Administrator at the Control Panel. 

Embedded Web Server

Domain Name System (DNS) is a system that maps host names to IP addresses.

1. Login as Administrator at the Embedded Web Server (EWS). For additional information, click on Access and Login or Logout as System Administrator at the Control Panel or Embedded Web Server (EWS).
   In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties→Connectivity→Setup.
   

2. For Network, for a connection type, click Edit. 
   
   Note: The printer uses separate IPv4, IPv6, and DNS settings for wired and wireless network connections. Before you configure wireless IP settings, install the Xerox Wireless Network Interface, then connect to a wireless network. 
   
   

3. For Configuration Settings, for IP, click Edit.

4. To configure DNS, click Show DNS Settings.

5. For Requested Host Name, type a unique name for your printer. If the host name registers to the DNS server successfully, the host name appears as a Verified Host Name. The default host name is XRXxxx, where xxx is the MAC address of the printer. 
   
   Note: If no host name appears for Verified Host Name, the host name did not register to the DNS server successfully. Configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients or enter DNS records manually.
   
   

6. For Requested Domain Name, type the name of the domain to which the printer is connected. If the domain name registers to the DNS server successfully, the domain name appears as a Verified Domain Name. 
   
   Note: If no domain name appears for Verified Domain Name, the domain name did not register successfully to the DNS server. Configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients or enter DNS records manually.
   
   

7. To allow users to see and connect to the printer using Bonjour, for Multicast DNS Registration, select Enabled.

8. For Release this connection's DHCP leases and DNS registrations, select Enabled as needed. This option allows the printer to send a release request to the DHCP and DNS servers. If the servers grant the request, the servers release the current IP address and dynamic DNS names. The IP addresses and DNS names renew immediately and when the printer is turned off.

9. For Additional DNS Server Addresses, type addresses as needed. If you have a DHCP server, recognized addresses can appear in the DNS Server Addresses list if they were provided by the server.

10. For DNS Connection Timeout, type the time in seconds that the printer waits to connect to a DNS server. After the timeout period, the printer attempts to connect to any additional DNS servers.

11. To add the printer domain to the Domain Name Search List, for Append Device Domain, select Enabled.

12. To add the parent domains of the printer to the Domain Name Search List, for Append Parent Domains, select Enabled.

13. If you have a DHCP server, recognized search domain names can appear in the Domain Name Search List if they were provided by the server. The list of domain names allows the DNS server to recognize unqualified host names. If you want the printer to search for other domain names, for Additional Search Domains, enter the names.

14. To set the printer to use an IPv6 address before it uses an IPv4 address, select Prefer IPv6 Address over IPv4.

15. Click Apply.

16. Logout as Administrator at the EWS.
