DHCP
The BluStar 8000i is capable of querying a DHCP server, allowing a network administrator a centralized and automated
method of configuring various network parameters for the BluStar 8000i.
dns1
Primary domain name server (DNS) IP address. For any of the IP address settings on the BluStar 8000i, a domain
name value can be entered instead of an IP address. With the help of the domain name servers, the domain
names for such parameters can then be resolved to their corresponding IP addresses.
For example, dns1: 192.168.0.5
To assign static DNS addresses, disable DHCP.
If a host name is configured on the BluStar 8000i, you must also set a DNS.
For more information, see
Configuring Network Settings Manually
.
dns2
A service that translates domain names into IP addresses. To assign static DNS addresses, disable DHCP.
For example, dns2: 192.168.0.6

.
ethernet port 0
The send (TX) and receive (RX) method to use on Ethernet port 0 to transmit and receive data over the LAN.
For example, ethernet port 0: 3 (half-duplex, 10Mbps)

time server disabled
This parameter allows you to enable or disable the Network Time Server (NTP) to set the time on the BluStar
8000i. This parameter affects the “time server1”, “time server2”, and “time server3” parameters. Setting this
parameter to ‘0’ allows the use of the configured Time Server(s). Setting this parameter to ‘1’ prevents the use
of the configured Time Server(s).
For more information on this feature, see
time server1
This parameter allows you to set the IP address of Time Server 1 in dotted decimal format.
For more information on this feature, see
time server2
This parameter allows you to set the IP address of Time Server 2 in dotted decimal format.
For more information on this feature, see
time server3
This parameter allows you to set the IP address of Time Server 3 in dotted decimal format.
