empty, the default LAN host name is Admin.
❑
WINS Resolution
—WINS resolution (Windows Internet Name
Service) allows a network device name (the name of your
ViewStation EX system) to be resolved to an IP address in a
routed environment.
When this option is selected, the system sends requests to the
WINS server for WINS name resolution.
❑
DHCP
—The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows a
server to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices on a LAN.
You can set the DHCP option to Off, Client, or Server.
• Off: When Off is selected, the IP address, DNS servers,
default gateway, subnet mask, and WINS server
information must be entered as static addresses. These
addresses are permanent until they are manually changed.
• Client: If your system is connected to a LAN, enable the
Client option. When this option is selected, your company’s
DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address, a DNS
server address, a default gateway, a subnet mask, and a
WINS server address. When Client is enabled, the options
IP Address
, DNS Servers, Default Gateway, Subnet
Mask, and WINS Server cannot be changed.
• Server: If you are connecting the system directly to a PC
that is not connected to the network, enable the Server
option. When this option is selected, the system’s DHCP
server can assign up to 12 IP addresses ranging from 1.1.1.3
to 1.1.1.14 to network devices on your LAN.
The Server button is visible on the LAN & Intranet screen
only if the option Allow System to be a DHCP Server has
been previously enabled in the System Info screen of the
Softupdate application.
For more information about enabling the option Allow
System to be a DHCP Server,
