Gateway and Network Configuration • Host name • Subnet mask • Default gateway NOTE: This information is supplied by the system administrator. The administrator must also select the IP Configuration Method. The drop down menu presents two options: a "Static" IP configuration which allows the user to specify the IP values, or "DHCP" method which allows a DHCP server to provide IP information. NOTE: The user is prompted whenever a reboot is required. Dynamic Host Config Protocol (DHCP) DHCP automates the configuration of computers using TCP/IP and performs the following functions: 1. Automatically assigns IP Addresses. 2. Delivers TCP/IP stack configuration parameters like the subnet masks and default gateway. Name services The following services are supported by Xerox FreeFlow Print Server software. Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) This network configuration option allows the administrator to enable/disable the WINS service. The Primary WINS server option, when left blank, allows WINS to broadcast the request to the first available WINS server on the network. WINS provides the ability to easily locate devices on the network, similar to Domain Name System (DNS). WINS maintains a database of NetBIOS names-to-IP address mappings so administrators and applications can specify a name rather than an IP address for a particular network resource. One of the problems it solves is the need for manual updates to a database when information for particular clients is changed. 5-10 System Guide

Default gateway
NOTE:
This information is supplied by the system administrator.
The administrator must also select the IP Configuration Method.
The drop down menu presents two options: a “Static” IP
configuration which allows the user to specify the IP values, or
“DHCP” method which allows a DHCP server to provide IP
information.
NOTE:
The user is prompted whenever a reboot is required.
Dynamic Host Config Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP automates the configuration of computers using TCP/IP
and performs the following functions:
1.
Automatically assigns IP Addresses.
2.
Delivers TCP/IP stack configuration parameters like the
subnet masks and default gateway.
Name services
The following services are supported by Xerox FreeFlow Print
Server software.
Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)
This network configuration option allows the administrator to
enable/disable the WINS service. The Primary WINS server
option, when left blank, allows WINS to broadcast the request to
the first available WINS server on the network. WINS provides the
ability to easily locate devices on the network, similar to Domain
Name System (DNS). WINS maintains a database of NetBIOS
names-to-IP address mappings so administrators and applications
can specify a name rather than an IP address for a particular
network resource. One of the problems it solves is the need for
manual updates to a database when information for particular
clients is changed.
