Dns Server Settings; Configuring The Network Settings Of The Unit - Panasonic KX-UT133-B Administrator's Manual

DNS Server Settings

You can configure the unit to use 2 DNS servers: a primary DNS server and a secondary DNS server. If you
set both DNS servers, the primary DNS server receives priority over the secondary DNS server. If the primary
DNS server returns no reply, the secondary DNS server will be used.
For details about configuring the DNS server settings using the unit, or using the Web user interface, see
Configuring the Network Settings of the Unit in this section.
DNS Priority Using Configuration File
The setting for DNS server(s) may be configured using the configuration files by your phone system dealer
(® see "DNS1_ADDR" and "DNS2_ADDR" in 5.4.2 DNS Settings).
•
If the DNS server addresses specified in the configuration file (® see "DNS_PRIORITY" in 5.4.2 DNS
Settings) are given priority, the unit first sends its requests to those DNS servers. If a match is not found,
the unit then sends its request to the DNS servers that were specified by the DHCP server, or the primary/
secondary DNS servers that were specified on the unit or via the Web user interface.
•
If the DNS servers that were specified by the DHCP server, or the primary/secondary DNS servers that
were specified on the unit or via the Web user interface are given priority, the unit first sends its requests
to those DNS servers. If a match is not found, the unit then sends its request to the DNS servers that were
specified using the configuration file.
