Print Server
Appliance
Name
Enter a name for the appliance. The appliance name will be displayed:
In the Network Neighborhood on each client workstation. The Network
Neighborhood is visible from Microsoft Windows Explorer.
●
On the Overview page in the web interface for the appliance
●
On the front panel of the appliance.
●
If the network uses DNS to identify network resources, this name should match the DNS
name. Otherwise, any name will work.
The name may contain up to 220 alphanumeric characters. It may also contain hyphens (
- ) and periods (.). (The hostname cannot begin with a hyphen (-), but it can have a
hyphen within the name.)
WINS Server
Address
(Windows Internet Name Server) Enables network resources (such as PCs and printers)
to be specified by their friendly names instead of their IP addresses. In order to use this
functionality, specify the WINS server by its IP address, not by its friendly name. Once
the WINS server is specified, use friendly names across other configuration areas of the
appliance (such as the queue configuration screen).
If the network does not have a WINS server configured, leave this field blank. Without a
WINS server configured, Windows 95, 98, and ME clients may be unable to print to a
appliance located on a different subnet. NT domain integration may behave unpredictably
if this field is blank.

will appear under this name in Network Neighborhood.
