QNAP TS-101 Turbo Station, User Manual

Page: 57 / 163

Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of primary DNS server that provides
DNS service for TS-101 in external network.
Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of secondary DNS server that
provides DNS service for TS-101 in external network.
Note:
1. Please contact your ISP or network administrator for the IP address
of primary and secondary DNS servers. When TS-101 plays the role
as a terminal and needs to perform independent connection, e.g. BT
download, you must enter at least one DNS server IP for proper URL
connection. Otherwise, the function may not work properly.
2. If you select to obtain IP address via DHCP, there is no need to
configure the primary and secondary DNS servers. You can enter
“0.0.0.0” in the settings.
Enable DHCP Server
If no DHCP is available in the LAN where TS-101 locates, you can enable this
function to enable TS-101 as a DHCP server and allocate dynamic IP address to
DHCP clients in LAN.
You can set the range of IP addresses allocated by DHCP server and the lease
time. Lease time refers to time that IP address is leased to the clients by DHCP
server. When the time expires, the client has to acquire an IP address again.
For example, to establish a DLNA network, and share the multimedia files on TS-
101 to DLNA DMP via UPnP while there is no NAT gateway that supports DHCP
server, you can enable DHCP server of TS-101. TS-101 will allocate dynamic IP
address to DMP or other clients automatically and set up a local network.
Note: If there is an existing DHCP server in your LAN, do not enable
this function. Otherwise, there will be IP address allocation and network
access errors.
