When configuring the DNS Settings

IMPORTANT
DNS Dynamic Update DNS Dynamic Update is a function that adds the IP address of the device and the names specified as the host name and domain name to the DNS server automatically. This function can be used in the environment in which a Dynamic DNS server is being used. When using the DNS Dynamic Update function You need to set the IP address, host name, and domain name of the DNS server. For details on the procedure for setting a port when using DNS See "Values for Setting a Port" or ask your network administrator.

When configuring the Multicast Discovery Settings

NOTE
Multicast discovery This is a function that searches for certain devices using Service Location Protocol (SLP). By using the multicast discovery function, you can search for only the devices whose values in [Scope Name] are verified, using the service location protocol (SLP) from utility software, such as NetSpot Device Installer.
