TCP/IP environment
4.3
In the network print server
1 Configure the WINS server address through Web Image Monitor
SP 3300 Series.
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, wireless devices, 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
• Web Image Monitor SP 3300 Series: Select Network Settings >
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).
