Overview

To use this machine by connecting it to the IPv4 network, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.

  1. Setting the method to assign an IP address to this machine

    supplementary explanationFor details on how to assign an IP address, refer to [Assigning an IP address] .

  2. If you resolve the name using the host name when accessing a computer or server on the network from this machine, register your DNS server address to this machine.

    supplementary explanationFor details on how to register the DNS server, refer to [Registering the DNS server used by this machine] .

    supplementary explanationWhen you are using the DHCP server, information of the DNS server used for resolving the name may be able to be obtained automatically.

  3. If your DNS server supports the Dynamic DNS function, register the host name and domain name of this machine and enable Dynamic DNS, if necessary.

    supplementary explanationFor details on how to register the host name of this machine, refer to [Registering the host name] .
