DNS mapping

If Konftel 800 operates in an environment with no DNS available or the DNS
server has no connectivity, you can configure settings to pass the device FQDN-
to-IP mapping information. The phone stores and retains these parameters
persistently, and a DNS failure does not impact the Konftel 800 operation.
Konftel 800 considers the configured host table part of its active configuration.
When the phone boots up or performs a Device Management polling, it first
searches for the DNS server configuration. If host entries change, the phone
updates the host table with the new values. When the phone receives new
settings for the host entities, it reboots to apply the changes.
To configure the host table, you must use the .xml configuration file. It contains
the <hosts_map> parameter, which has the following two elements for each host
entity:
• <ip>. This is the IP address of the server.
• <name>. This is the hostname, that you assign to the host entity. After the
phone reboots and applies the configuration, you can specify this value in any
FQDN data field in the web interface. For example, in the Registrar field of a
SIP account.
You can add several host entities or leave the parameter empty.
If the parameter stays blank or is not available in the .xml configuration file, the
phone deletes all existing FQDN-to-IP mapping settings.
The following is an example of the configured <hosts_map> parameter.
<hosts_map type="xml">
<host>
<ip>192.168.1.101</ip>
<name>sipserver1.com</name>
</host>
