Mapping a Host Name to the IP Address

the acquired IP address. Refer to your system manuals or to your
Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform the
name mapping on your particular system.

Host Names
In order to register the host name of the AXIS 7100 in networks
with dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet
Name Service) is supported. It is recommended that this method
is used if you are setting the IP address of the AXIS 7100 using
DHCP.
WINS host name rules
WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host
name is longer than 15 characters, the AXIS 7100 truncates the
host name to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server.
BOOTP is enabled by default but can be disabled by an Administrator
using the System Settings page.
If the host name has not been included in the system host table, you can
still perform the following instructions on how to download the IP
address.
In this case, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address
wherever needed.
