Description
DNS Servers
(in the local interface
DNS and not editable)
Displays the DNS servers currently assigned to the system.
When the IPv4 or IPv6 address is obtained automatically, the DNS Server addresses are
also obtained automatically. You can specify IPv4 DNS server addresses only when the
IPv4 or IPv6 address is entered manually.
Server 1 Address
Server 2 Address
Server 3 Address
Server 4 Address
(read-only in the local
interface)
If the system does not automatically obtain a DNS server address, you can enter one
here. Up to four DNS server addresses are allowed. If all four address fields show
addresses, you cannot add another.
Setting
Description
Host Name
(web interface only)
Indicates the system’s name. On IPv4 networks the system will send the host name to the
DHCP server in order to enable it to register the hostname with the local DNS server
and/or look up the domain where the endpoint is registered (if supported). This function is
not supported on IPv6, so you can leave this field unconfigured if you’re using an IPv6
network. However, configuring the field to contain the registered host name is
recommended.
Domain Name
(web interface only)
Displays the domain name currently assigned to the system.
If the system does not automatically obtain a domain name, enter one here.
Autonegotiation
(under General
Settings in local
interface)
Specifies whether the system should automatically negotiate the LAN speed and duplex
mode per IEEE 802.3 autonegotiation procedures. If this setting is enabled, the LAN
Speed and Duplex Mode settings become read only.
Polycom recommends that you use autonegotiation to avoid network issues.
