TCP/IP environment
4.3
Configuring WINS
Access Web Image Monitor SP 5100N and select Network
Settings Æ TCP/IP. You will configure two WINS server
addresses, the Primary WINS Server or the Secondary WINS
Server. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
In a DHCP server
A DHCP server can support the NBNS (NetBIOS Name Server)
option. An administrator has to set the WINS server IP address
in the NBNS option.
1
Set the IP assignment method of your network print server
to DHCP.
2
Reboot the print server.
The WINS server will update the printer's NetBIOS name
in its database. Users can use the printer name instead of
its IP address.
In the network print server
1
Configure the WINS server address through Web Image
Monitor SP 5100N.
2
Reboot the print server.
The WINS server will update the printer's NetBIOS name
in its database. Users can use the printer name instead of
its IP address.
Bonjour
Bonjour allows for a network system to be easily discovered
and its capabilities to be revealed by any Bonjour-compliant
client software, such as Print Center Utility built in to Mac OS X.
For details, see page 5.2.
UPnP
UPnP is an architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network
connectivity of intelligent appliances, and PCs of all form
factors. It is designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standards-
based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks whether
in the home, in a small business, public spaces, or attached to
the Internet.
UPnP is a distributed, open networking architecture that
leverages TCP/IP and Web technologies to enable seamless
proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer
among networked devices in the home, office, and public
spaces.
UPnP is more than just a simple extension of the plug and play
peripheral model. It is designed to support zero-configuration,
“invisible” networking, and automatic discovery for a wide
breadth of device categories from a wide range of vendors. This
means a device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP
address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence
and capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS servers are
optional and are used only if available on the network, while a
device can leave a network smoothly and automatically without
leaving any unwanted state issues behind.
UPnP supports 6 protocol stacks for addressing, discovery,
description, control, eventing, and presentation, but the
Network Printer Card supports only Simple Service Discovery
Protocol (SSDP) which allows addressing, description, and
discovery.
Configuring UPnP
• Control panel: Refer to the Network Menu setting in your
printer user’s guide.
• Web Image Monitor SP 5100N:
Select Network Settings Æ UPnP.
- Auto IP Enabled: You can enable or disable Auto IP. When
this option is selected, the network print server cannot find
the control point and receive an IP address from the
control point. The network print server will create an IP
address of “169.254.XXX.XXX.”
- Multicast DNS Enabled: SSDP can use Multicast DNS.
- SSDP Enabled: You can enable or disable SSDP.
- SSDP TTL: You can specify the maximum number of
subnets that SSPD multicasts can travel across.
Using UPnP
If SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) is enabled, your
network print server is checked by a control point. This control
point is an application which supports finding UPnP devices.
Information on searching and control functions or your network
print server’s device information is displayed in an XML page
(http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5200/printer.xml).
