Configuring WINS
Windows  Internet  Name Service (WINS) is  a name resolution service that  associates  a NetBIOS  name (a computer  or printer name in an
SMB network) with an  IP  address. To enable  WINS, the  WINS server  must be specified.
IMPORTANT
In order to  specify  WINS server  settings,  NetBIOS  name and  workgroup name are  required to  be set. Configuring  SMB
The function is  not  available in an  IPv6  network.
Start  the Remote UI  and  log  on in System Manager Mode.  Starting Remote UI
Click [Settings/Registration].
Click [Network Settings]  [TCP/IP  Settings].
Click [Edit...] in [WINS Settings].
Select the [WINS Resolution]  check  box, specify the required settings,  and  click [OK].

Select the  check  box to  use WINS for  name resolution.  When  not  using WINS, clear the  check  box.
[WINS  Server Address]
Enter the  IP  address of the  WINS server.
IMPORTANT:
If  the  IP  address of the  WINS server  is  obtained from a DHCP server, the  obtained IP  address overrides the  IP  address entered  in
the  [WINS Server  Address] text box.
[Scope ID]
If  the  network is  divided into several groups with scope  IDs  (identifiers for  groups of devices in the  network), enter up  to  63
alphanumeric  characters  for  the  scope  ID.  Leave  the  text box blank if  there is  no  scope  ID set for  your computer.
Restart the machine.
Turn  OFF  the  machine, wait  for  at least  10 seconds,  and  turn  it back ON.

Registering LDAP Servers (MF8580Cdw / MF8550Cdn / MF8540Cdn /
MF8280Cw Only)
If  an  LDAP server  is  implemented  in the  network, you can search the  server  for  fax  numbers  or e-mail
addresses,  and  then  specify  them as destinations or register  them in the  Address Book.  You  can register  a
maximum  of five LDAP servers to  the  machine. Register LDAP servers via  the  Remote  UI.
NOTE
LDAP servers that  are  supported by the  machine are  Windows  Server  2003/Server  2008/Server  2012  Active Directory.
The machine communicates  with LDAP servers using LDAPv3.
UTF-8  is  the  supported character encoding used when the  text data is  transmitted between  the  machine and  an  LDAP server.
Start  the Remote UI  and  log  on in System Manager Mode.  Starting Remote UI
Click [Settings/Registration].
Click [Network Settings]  [Register LDAP Server].
Click [Register New Server...].

To delete registered  server information
Click [Delete] on  the  right of the  server  name you want to  delete  
click [OK].

[Server Name]
Enter up  to  24 alphanumeric  characters  for  identifying the  LDAP server.
[Server Address]
Enter the  IP  address of the  LDAP server  or enter up  to  47 alphanumeric  characters  for  the  host  name of the  server  (example:
ldap.example.com).
IMPORTANT:
[Server Address] and  DNS
To prevent  errors  from occurring when searching for  destinations, make sure  to  check  the  following:If  the  host  name is  entered  for  [Server  Address], make sure  that  a DNS server  is  available in the  network.
If  the  IP  address is  entered  for  [Server  Address], check  whether  the  DNS server  supports only forward  lookup.  If  the  server
supports only forward  lookup,  select [Do Not Use] or [Use] for  [Login Information]. If  you select [Use (Security
Authentication)],  make sure  that  the  DNS server  supports reverse lookup.
[Position  to Start  Search]
Specify the  node in the  directory information  tree  (DIT)  that  you want to  start search from. Leaving the  text box blank sets th e
machine to  start search from an  arbitrary node selected automatically.
Depending on  the  type of characters  used, up  to  120 characters  can be entered.
When  specifying  the  node, enter "DC=", followed by a host  name (a dot -delimited  character string  in the  Active Directory
domain  name),  and  separate each of the  entries with a comma. If  the  domain  name is  "john.example.com", for  example,  enter
"DC=john,DC=example,DC=com."
[Port Number]
Enter the  port number used for  communicating with the  LDAP server.
[Search Timeout]
Specify how long the  machine searches.  Enter between  30 and  300 seconds.

							server. When  [Use] or [Use (Security Authentication)]  is  selected,  the  user  name and  password must be specified.[Do Not Use] Select not  to  authenticate the  machine using the  login information.
[Use] Select to  authenticate the  machine using the  login information.
[Use (Security
Authentication)] Select to  use data obtained by Kerberos,  a network authentication protocol, for  the  authentication
password. If  this setting is  selected,  the  clock of the  machine needs to  be synchronized with that  of the
LDAP server.
[User Name]
Enter the  user  name of the  machine that  was  registered to  the  LDAP server. Depending on  the  type of characters  used, up  to  120
characters  can be entered. When  [Use] is  selected for  [Login Information], enter the  user  name in the  form "(domain  name)\(user name)"  (example:
domain1\user1).
When  [Use (Security Authentication)]  is  selected,  enter the  user  name only (example:  user1).
[Set/Change  Password]
To specify  or change the  password, select the  check  box and  enter up  to  24 characters  in the  [Password]  text box.

Configuring SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)  enables you to  adjust the  system clock by using the  time  server  on  the
network. The protocol is  typically used for  synchronizing the  machine and  a server, such as when the  machine
needs to  access an  LDAP server  with the  security authentication that  was  enabled.  The time  is  adjusted based
on  Coordinated  Universal Time (UTC),  so specify  the  time  zone setting before configuring SNTP
(
Date/Time Settings). SNTP settings can be specified via  the  Remote  UI.
NOTE
The SNTP of the  machine supports both  NTP (version 3)  and  SNTP (versions  3  and  4)  servers.
Start  the Remote UI  and  log  on in System Manager Mode.  Starting Remote UI
Click [Settings/Registration].
Click [Network Settings]  [TCP/IP  Settings].
Click [Edit...] in [SNTP  Settings].
Select the [Use SNTP]  check  box and  specify the required settings.

							[Use SNTP]
Select the  check  box to  use SNTP for  synchronization.  If  you do not  want to  use SNTP,  clear the  check  box.
[NTP Server Name]
Enter the  IP  address of the  NTP or the  SNTP server. If  DNS is  available on  the  network, you can enter a host  name (or FQDN) of
up  to  255 alphanumeric  characters  instead (example:  ntp.example.com).
[Polling  Interval]
Specify the  interval  between  one synchronization and  the  next. Specify an  interval  from 1  to  48 hours.
Click [OK].
Restart the machine.
Turn  OFF  the  machine, wait  for  at least  10 seconds,  and  turn  it back ON.
NOTE
Testing  communication with the NTP/SNTP server
You  can test whether  the  machine is  communicating with the  registered time  server  via  SNTP.  Go to  [Settings/Registration] [Network  Settings] [TCP/IP  Settings] and  click [Check NTP Server]  in [SNTP Settings].  If  a proper connection has been
established,  the  result is  displayed as shown below. Note that  this operation does not  adjust the  system clock.

Monitoring and Controlling the Machine with SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)  is  a protocol for  monitoring and  controlling communication devices in a network by using
Management Information Base  (MIB). The machine supports SNMPv1 and  security-enhanced SNMPv3.  You  can check  the  status of the
machine from a computer  when you print documents or use the  Remote  UI. You  can enable  either SNMPv1 or SNMPv3,  or both  at the
same time. Specify the  settings for  each version to  suit your network environment and  the  purpose of use.
SNMPv1
SNMPv1 uses information  called "community" to  define the  scope  of SNMP communication.  Because this information  is  exposed  to  the
network in plain  text, your network will  be vulnerable  to  attacks. If  you want to  ensure  network security,  disable SNMPv1 and  use
SNMPv3.
SNMPv3
With SNMPv3,  you can implement network device management  that  is  protected  by robust security features.  Note that  SSL  must be
enabled  for  the  Remote  UI before configuring SNMPv3 (Enabling  SSL Encrypted Communication for the Remote  UI ).
NOTE
The machine does not  support the  trap notification  feature of SNMP.
To change the  port number of SNMP,  see  
Changing Port Numbers.
SNMP management  software, when installed on  a computer  on  the  network, enables you to  configure, monitor, and  control  the
machine remotely from the  computer. For more information, see  the  instruction  manuals  for  your management  software.
