Decide Whether to Use WINS Servers
The GL-1020 supports the WINS host name resolution service.
Using a WINS server is optional but has several advantages,
especially if you are using DHCP to dynamically assign IP
Addresses (enabled by default):
n Users can refer to the device by its name instead of its IP
address.
n Users won’t have to look up the currently assigned IP address
every time they want to access the embedded web server.
n It simplifies command line printing for LPR/LPD clients.
