WINS Configuration
This screen appears when you click the WINS Configuration menu on
the Network tab. It lets you change WINS settings. WINS (Windows Inter-
net Name Service) makes it possible for a device, such as your network
interface card, to register a NetBIOS name (like MLT_995243) along with
its current IP address (like 192.9.200.200). A client wanting to contact the
printer uses the WINS server to match the NetBIOS name with an IP ad-
dress. Most users will find it easier to remember the NetBIOS name for the
printer rather than its IP address.
Password Input the password assigned to the network interface card. The
initial factory default is
sysadm . Clicking the Apply button after
inputting the wrong password displays a password error mes-
sage without changing the settings.
NetBIOS Name The NetBIOS name for the network interface card is shown on
this screen. The default NetBIOS name is the Network Inter-
face Card’s serial number (for example, MLT_995243), unless
you previously configured a name for the network interface
card with DHCP.
You may change the NetBIOS name here, by entering a new
name. The name can be up to 15 characters long.
Primary WINS Server If you previously configured a DHCP server to provide the net-
work interface card with the IP address of the primary WINS
server, this item shows the address. Otherwise, enter the IP
address of the primary NetBIOS name server here.
Secondary WINS Server You may also enter the IP address of a secondary NetBIOS
name server, if you want. If you configured your DHCP server
to provide the address of a secondary WINS server to the net-
work interface card, the address fields are filled in with the ap-
propriate information automatically.
