If the SINAUT MD740-1 is to establish a connection to a remote
site (e.g. VPN gateway or NTP server), it must know the die IP
address of the remote site in question. If it is given the address in
the form of a domain address (i.e. www.abc.xyz.de), then the
device must consult a Domain Name Server (DNS) to see which IP
address is behind the domain address.
You can configure locally connected clients in such a way that they
can use the SINAUT MD740-1 to resolve hostnames into IP
addresses. See IP configuration with Windows clients, page 59.
Hostname mode
With Hostname Modus and Hostname you can give the
SINAUT MD740-1 a name. This name is then displayed, e.g.
when logging in by SSH. Giving names simplifies the
administration of several SINAUT MD740-1s.
User defined (from field below)
(Standard) The name entered in the field Hostname is set as
the name for the SINAUT MD740-1.
Provider defined (e.g. via DHCP)
If the external setting of the hostname is enabled, e.g. as with
DHCP, then the name supplied by the provider is set for the
SINAUT MD740-1.
Hostname
If the option User defined is selected under Hostname mode,
then you enter the name here which the
SINAUT MD740-1 is to receive.
Otherwise, i.e. when the option Provider defined (e.g. via
DHCP) is selected under Hostname mode, an entry in this field
is ignored.
