Preferred DNS server
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System)

required to convert the DNS name into the IP address when a connection is
being established to a server.
You can specify your router's IP address here. The router forwards phone
address requests to its DNS server.

ations where the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.

The default setting for your phone is set so that you can only access your
phone's Web configurator via a PC that is in the same local network as your
phone. The subnet mask of the PC must match that of the phone.

from "outside" to Port 80 (default port) of the phone. Please also read the user
guide for your router.
To establish a connection, the public IP address or the DNS name of the router
and, where applicable, the port number on the router must be indicated in the
