Selecting Query DNS
Your Kyocera 7135 smartphone can verify the DNS (Domain Naming System) numbers of a
computer before attempting a network connection. If you put a check mark in the Query DNS
check box, the Primary and Secondary DNS number lines do not appear on the screen. Uncheck
the Query DNS check box to display the Primary and Secondary DNS lines. Be aware that not all
service providers support querying DNS.
Select the Query DNS check box to turn on this option.
Entering Primary and Secondary DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a mechanism in the Internet for translating the names of host
computers into IP addresses. When you enter a DNS number (or IP address), you are identifying
a specific server that handles the translation services.
An IP address has four sections, separated by periods. Each section is a number from 0 to 255. In
the Details dialog, you enter each section separately. Ask your Internet Service Provider or system
administrator for the correct Primary or Secondary DNS IP numbers. Many systems do not
require you to enter a DNS. If you are not sure, contact your service provider.
1. Remove the check mark from the Query DNS check box.
2. Tap the space to the left of the first period on the Primary DNS line. Enter the first section of
the IP address.
3. Tap the second section on the Primary DNS line. Enter the second section of the IP address.
4. Tap and enter numbers in the third and fourth sections of the Primary DNS. If a Secondary
DNS number is required, enter it on the Secondary DNS line. Only numbers can be entered on
these lines.
Selecting an IP address dynamically
Everyone who logs on to the Internet must have a unique identifier (an IP address), whether
permanent or temporary. Some networks dynamically assign a temporary IP address when
clients log in. Use the IP Address line to identify whether your network provides automatic
(dynamic) temporary IP addressing. If your IP address is permanently assigned, get that
information from your system administrator. If you are not sure, select Automatic.
