15.4 NetBIOS/WINS
'NetBIOS' (Network Basic Input Output System) allows you to
address a client in Microsoft Windows networks not only via a
unique TCP/IP address but also via a unique NetBIOS name.
Benefits and
Purpose
'WINS' (Windows Internet Naming Service) is a system for the
dynamic resolution of NetBIOS names. WINS works similar to DNS
and is also dynamic. If a new host enters the network, its name will
automatically be registered with the WINS server. The client registers
the NetBIOS name of the computer as well as the domain name and
the name of the registered users and user groups.
To use this service, you must configure a couple of Microsoft
Windows parameters such as the NetBIOS name, the NetBIOS
domain, and the WINS server.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start the PRINTSERVER Homepage or start the
PRINTSERVER-NetTool and double-click the print server in the
print server list.
2. Select Configuration – Microsoft Windows.
3. Configure the parameters; see: Table 17

this router.

address.
(The value 64 is preset.)
Address ranges are indicated by prefixes. The prefix
length (Number of used bits) is added to the IPv6
address and specified as a decimal number. The
decimal number is separated by ’/’ .
Automatic configuration Enables/disables the automatic assignment of the
IPv6 address for the print server.
