AXIS 1440 User’s Manual 25
Assigning a
Host Name to the
Internet Address
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the
acquired Internet address. Refer to your system manuals or to your
network administrator for instructions on how name mapping is
performed on your system.
The AXIS 1440 supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service),
which is recommended when you are using DHCP in a Windows NT
network to set the Internet address.
Note: ❏ If a host name has not been mapped to the Internet address, you
can still download the Internet address to your AXIS 1440 using
the steps described in Using DHCP in Windows below. Just
replace the host name entries with the Internet address wherever
necessary.
Using DHCP in
Windows
Follow these steps to use DHCP to download the Internet address:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP
daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the
following parameters:
• range of Internet addresses
•subnet mask
• default router Internet address
• WINS server Internet address(es)
• lease duration
2. Activate the scope.
The AXIS 1440 automatically downloads the DHCP parameters.
If you intend to use WINS, at least one WINS server Internet address
must be included in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the Internet
address is received, the AXIS 1440 registers its host name and Internet
address on the WINS server.
