How to Configure the DNS
DNS is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses.
Using DNS, names can be assigned to IP addresses and vice versa. If a
DNS server is available in your network, you can use DNS for your
TPR.
If you use a domain name during the configuration process, you
must first enable and configure DNS. DNS is used for the
configuration of the time server, for example.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start the TPR Control Center.
2. Select
NETWORK – DNS
.
3. Configure the DNS parameters; see: Table 4
31.
4. Click
Save
to confirm.
The settings are saved.
