• Assignment of host names to IP addresses
• Location of server services without knowledge of the device’s
host name or IP address.
When checking the IP address assigned via ZeroConf (see: ’ZeroConf’
14) the TPR sends a query to the network. If the IP address has
already been assigned elsewhere in the network, the TPR will receive
a message. The TPR then sends another query with a different IP
address. If the IP address is available, it is saved in the TPR.
The domain name service is used for additional Bonjour features.
Since there is no central DNS server in Bonjour networks, each
device and application has its own small DNS server.
This integrated DNS server (mDNS) collects and administers the
information of all participants in the net. In addition to the features
of a classical DNS server, the mDNS server also saves the IP address,
the service name and the offered services of each participant.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start the TPR Control Center.
2. Select
NETWORK - Bonjour
.
3. Configure the Bonjour parameters; see: Table 8
4. Click
Save
to confirm.
The setting will be saved.
