If the process is interrupted by certain reason, then the Backup device has to be removed from the deployment.
Page 186 Notes: 1. After the deployment finished, the Backup device will substitute for Master device once it breaks down. (The two devices detect each other for status through Port1 and Port 2 connection.) 2. When there is any data or firmware version variation between the two devices, the synchronization will immediately function through the Port 2.
Page 187: Chapter 11 Dns Setting
Generally speaking, DNS server is either set up by an IT company or set up by oneself. ES-6000 has the function of resolving domain name which enables user to set up a DNS server on user’s own without any expanded cost. While setting up DNS, please direct the registered domain name to the ES-6000’s IP address beforehand.
Page 188: A (Address)
Host Name: dns1.airlive.com IP Address: 61 .11 .11 .11 Set up secondary host name server as: Host Name: dns2.airlive.com IP Address: 211 .22 .2 2 .22 Select Type It is divided into three types, namely Address (A), Canonical NAME (CNAME) and Mail eXchanger (MX).
Page 189: Cname (Canonical Name)
Table 11-2 Mapping table of domain name and CNAME Figure 11-3 Mapping table of Domain name and CNAME The table above indicates that host5.airlive.com (Alias) is mapping to host23.airlive.com (domain name). Thus, pinging host5.airlive.com under DOS mode will have the result of 61.11.11.14.
Page 190: Mx (Exchanger)
3. “mail.airlive.com” is the inquired DNS name. For example, the customer service department of Test company wants to email to mary@mail.airlive.com, a mail server (test.com.tw) served as a SMTP server decides where and how to send the mail by inquiring the target DNS server.
Page 191 Therefore, mail will go to host3.airlive.com according to SMTP Protocol. Name: Customize a DNS host name. Reverse: reverse a domain name lookup of its IP address. Domain mapping distinguish into forward mapping and reverse mapping. Forward mapping served as a translator, a translator transforms a letter-pattern address into a figure-pattern address.

When this spam e-mail is sent to an account with SPF enabled, the account will ask AirLive mail server for the SPF record based on the e-mail’s IP address to check if the IP really came from AirLive.
