Configuring DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) is a system that maps host names to IP addresses.

In Xerox
®
CentreWare
®
Internet Services, click
Properties

Setup
.
2.
For Network, next to a connection type, click
Edit
.
Note:
The printer uses separate IPv4, IPv6, and DNS settings for wired and wireless network
connections. Before you configure wireless IP settings, install the Xerox
®
Wireless Network Interface,
then connect to a wireless network. For details, see
Connecting to a Wireless Network
on page 32.

For Configuration Settings, next to IP, click
Edit
.
4.
To configure DNS, click
Show DNS Settings
.
5.
For Requested Host Name, type a unique name for your printer. If the host name registers to the
DNS server successfully, the host name appears as a Verified Host Name. The default host name is
XRXxxx, where xxx is the MAC address of the printer.
Note:
If no host name appears, the host name did not register to the DNS server successfully.
Configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients.
6.
For Requested Domain Name, type the name of the domain to which the printer is connected. If the
domain name registers to the DNS server successfully, the domain name appears as a Verified
Domain Name.
Note:
If no domain name appears, the domain name did not register successfully to the DNS server.
Configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients.
7.
To allow users to see and connect to the printer using Bonjour, for Multicast DNS Registration, select
Enabled
.
8.
For Release this connection's DHCP leases and DNS registrations, select
Enabled
as needed. This
option allows the printer to send a release request to the DHCP and DNS servers. If the servers grant
the request, the servers release the current IP address and dynamic DNS names. The IP addresses
and DNS names renew immediately and when the printer is turned off.
9.
For Additional DNS Server Addresses, type addresses as needed. If you have a DHCP server,
recognized addresses appear in the DNS Server Addresses list.
10.
For DNS Connection Timeout, type the time in seconds that the printer waits to connect to a DNS
server. After the timeout period, the printer attempts to connect to any additional DNS servers.
11.
To add the printer domain to the Domain Name Search List, for Append Device Domain, select
Enabled
.
12.
To add the parent domains of the printer to the Domain Name Search List, for Append Parent
Domains, select
Enabled
.
13.
If you have a DHCP server, recognized search domain names appear in the Domain Name Search
List. The list of domain names allows the DNS server to recognize unqualified host names. If you
want the printer to search for other domain names, for Additional Search Domains, enter the
names.
14.
To set the printer to use an IPv6 address before it uses an IPv4 address, select
Prefer IPv6 Address
over IPv4
.
