Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a network
automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services, such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each computer's
network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-consuming.
Zeroconf is built on three core technologies:
• Assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices (link-local address auto
conf
igur
ation)
• Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DNS)
• A
u
tomatic location of network services, such as printing devices through DNS service discovery.
Click the chec
kbox
to enable Zeroconf.
When the settings are complete, click Save, or click Reset to revert to previously saved settings.
Bonjour
The network camera includes support for Bonjour. When enabled, the network camera is
automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.
Click the check box to enable Bonjour. Enter a name in the Friendly name field.
When the settings are complete, click Save, or click Reset to revert to previously saved settings.
Note: Also known as zero-configuration networking, Bonjour enables devices to automatically
discover each other on a network, without having to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.
