Return to Overview

DNS (Domain Name Service) is a service used for associating a host name (which is a name of a computer or a printer on a TCP/IPv6 network) with a unique IPv6 address.

The default settings are as follows:

  • <SAME HOST/DOMAIN>: <ON>
  • <DNS DYNA. UPDATE>: <OFF>
  • <REG. MANUAL ADD>: <OFF>
  • <REG. STATEFUL ADD>: <OFF>
  1. Press [Menu].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <SYSTEM SETTINGS>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <NETWORK SETTINGS>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <TCP/IP SETTINGS>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <IPv6 SETTINGS>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <DNS SETTINGS>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <DNS SERVER SET>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <PRIM. DNS SERVER>, then press [OK].
  1. Use - [numeric keys] to enter the IPv6 address of a primary DNS server, then press [OK].
  • If you set <USE DHCPv6> set to <ON>, the IP address of a DNS server you set manually will be overwritten. See "Setting the Use of DHCPv6."
  1. Press [] or [] to select <SECOND DNS SERVER>, then press [OK].

If you do not need to specify secondary DNS server, skip to step 11.

  1. Use - [numeric keys] to enter the IPv6 address of a Secondary DNS server, then press [OK].
  • If you set <USE DHCPv6> set to <ON>, the IP address of a DNS server you set manually will be overwritten. See "Setting the Use of DHCPv6."
  1. Press [] or [] to select <HOST/DOMAIN NAME>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <SAME HOST/DOMAIN>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <ON> or <OFF>, then press [OK].
  • <ON>: Sets the same host name or domain name used with IPv4 communication for IPv6 communication. Press [OK] and skip to step 19.
  • <OFF>: Sets a different host name or domain name for IPv6 communication.
  1. Press [] or [] to select <HOST NAME>, then press [OK].
  1. Use - [numeric keys] to enter the desired host name, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <DOMAIN NAME>, then press [OK].
  1. Use - [numeric keys] to enter the network domain name, then press [OK].
  • If you set <USE DHCPv6> to <ON>, the IP address of a DNS server you set manually will be overwritten. See "Setting the Use of DHCPv6."
  1. Press [] or [] to select <DNS DYNAMIC SET>, then press [OK].
  1. Confirm that <DNS DYNA. UPDATE> is displayed, then press [OK].

  • <ON>: Registers a manual address in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating.
  1. Press [] or [] to select <REG. STATEFUL ADD>, then press [OK].
  1. Press [] or [] to select <OFF> or <ON>, then press [OK].
  • <OFF>: Does not register a stateful address in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating.
  • <ON>: Registers a stateful address in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating.
  • Windows 2000 Server/Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 do not support DHCPv6 servers.
