Secondary WINS Server IP Address

This field specifies the IP address of the secondary WINS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary WINS
server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine still can register itself with a secondary
server. If set to a non-zero value, the machine will contact this server to register its name with the Windows

®

Internet Name Service. If you have a primary WINS server, but no secondary WINS server, simply leave this
field blank.

Secondary DNS Server IP Address

This field specifies the IP address of the secondary DNS server. It is used as a backup to the Primary DNS
server address. If the Primary server is unavailable, the machine will contact the Secondary DNS server. If
you have a primary DNS server, but no secondary DNS server, simply leave this field blank.

APIPA

With this setting On the print server will cause the print server to automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address

in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the
Boot Method you have set. (See Boot Method on page 25.) Choosing Off means the IP address does not

change, when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the Boot Method you have set.

IPv6

This machine is compatible with IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol. If you want to use the IPv6
protocol, choose On. The default setting for IPv6 is Off. For more information on the IPv6 protocol, visit

Note

• If you set IPv6 to On, turn off the power switch and then turn it back on to enable this protocol.
• After you choose IPv6 On, this setting will be applied to both the wired and wireless LAN interface.

Ethernet (wired network only)

Ethernet link mode. Auto allows the print server to operate in 100BASE-TX full or half duplex, or in 10BASE-T
full or half duplex mode by auto negotiation.

Note

If you set this value incorrectly, you may not be able to communicate with your print server.
