Managing Multiple ScanDo HDs
As your family of ScanDo HDs grows, it can become difficult to remember all of
their IP addresses . However, your IT Department may be able to help by assigning
a DNS Record for each of your ScanDo HDs .
DNS, or Domain Name System, allows you to resolve to an IP address using simple
names . For example, the ScanDo HD website, scandohd .tv, points to or resolves
to 72 .3 .176 .163 . Without DNS, you would have to enter in the IP address of our
server to view our website . With Domain Name Servers, we can assign the IP
address an alias or name, in this case, scandohd .tv .
This same technology can be applied to your ScanDo HD units .
This allows you to create meaningful and memorable names for each
of your ScanDo HDs .
