Configure the "DNS Setup" (optional)
DNS (Domain Name Service) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Ask
your network administrator whether DNS is in use, and if it is, for the host name, domain name, and
DNS server address to use.
a.
Set the "hostname." Press
Host Name
and enter the hostname. A hostname is the host portion of
the domain name, which is translated into an IP address. The hostname is entered as a string using
the front panel arrow keys to select and change characters. The hostname may include letters,
numbers, and dashes ("-").
b.
Set the "DNS Server" addresses. From the LAN configuration screen, press
More
to go to the
second of three sets of softkeys.
Enter the Primary DNS and Second DNS. See your network administrator for details.
More about IP Addresses and Dot Notation
Dot-notation addresses ("nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where "nnn" is a byte value from 0 to 255) must be expressed
with care, as most PC web software interprets byte values with leading zeros as octal (base 8) numbers. For
example, "192.168.020.011" is actually equivalent to decimal "192.168.16.9" because ".020" is inter-
preted as "16" expressed in octal, and ".011" as "9". To avoid confusion, use only decimal values from 0 to
255, with no leading zeros.
