Step 1: Determine the Network Policy
First, determine whether DHCP is used within your organization. If DHCP is used, some or all IP
addresses are assigned dynamically. When using DHCP, “hostname” is the identifier used to
specify PCs or Copiers. AR-NS1 requires DNS to resolve the address from “hostname” to “IP
address”.

[Note: We do not recommend using “Full DHCP” and “Exception DHCP” policies. They require
special knowledge in network configuration., including careful setup of the “NIC” in the Copier. If
you use these policies, please refer to the manual for the NIC to setup dynamic copier addressing.]

Step 2: Set up the DHCP and DNS servers
If you are using the Regular, Full, or Exception DHCP policy, DHCP and DNS servers should be
set up prior to installing Network Scanner Tool. These servers maintain the table of dynamic
addresses for PCs [2) and 3) above] and Copiers [3) and 4) above].

If you are using the Simple Addressing policy, DHCP and DNS servers are not required, and you
may skip this step.

Step 3: Set up Copier network parameters
If you are using DHCP and the PC addresses are dynamic [2) or 3) above], the addresses of the
DNS servers must be set up using the Web pages of the Copiers.

If the PC addresses are static [1) or 4) above], we recommend that you leave the addresses of the
DNS servers blank in the Web pages of the Copiers. Otherwise, conflicting addresses may cause
communication problems in the network.

Step 4: Notify the network users
The users of PCs connected to the network need to know the policy in effect and the supporting
information outlined in the following table.
