DNS Server

Domain Name System (DNS) provides a service that translates domain names into IP
addresses and vice versa. MP-20x's DNS server is an auto-learning DNS, which means
that when a new computer is connected to the network the DNS server learns its name and
automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other network users may immediately communicate
with this computer using either its name or its IP address.
In addition, your Telephone Adapter's DNS:
Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the DHCP
server.
Supports multiple subnets within the LAN simultaneously.
Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.
Allows new domain names to be added to the database using MP-20x's Web-based
Management.
Permits a computer to have multiple host names.
Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (needed if a host has multiple network
cards).
The DNS server does not require configuration. However, you may wish to view the list of
computers known by the DNS, edit the host name or IP address of a computer on the list,
or manually add a new computer to the list.
