Domain Name
The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses for the purpose of locating
and addressing hosts.
As a DNS client, the device resolves domain names to IP addresses through the use of one or more
configured DNS servers.

DNS Settings

Use the DNS Settings page to enable the DNS feature, configure the DNS servers and set the default
domain used by the device.
