In the case of automatic assignment of IP address, we recommend using the DHCP server function using a router as far as possible.
If the DHCP server function is not used, it takes about 60 seconds until determination that address assignment with DHCP has failed. Then, an address between 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 is assigned by link local address (Auto-IP).
DNS Server Assignment
Sets the address of the DNS server.

You can set the host name and so on. If you set the host name, you can use it in place of the IP address to access the LAN interface. Normally, we recommend that you select “Enable Dynamic DNS”, “Enable mDNS”, and “NetBIOS Over TCP/IP”.
If you leave the Hostname and Description boxes empty and click “Apply,” the host name will be created from the model name and serial number.
