DNS – entering the DNS server
DNS (Domain Name System) is a decentralised database on the Internet that assigns user-
friendly symbolic names (domains) to the public IP addresses for computers and services.
Access to this database requires DNS servers that convert the DNS name into the IP address
when the connection is established to a computer/server. DNS servers are normally pro-
vided automatically by your Internet provider and do not need to be set up additionally.
The DNS server that you enter here will only be used if your provider does not make a DNS
server available.

QoS – setting the Quality of Service, prioritising VoIP
Many communication and multimedia applications require high speed and large band-
widths to transfer data between the local network and the Internet. However, for many
applications there is often only one Internet connection with limited capacity available.
QoS (Quality of Service) divides this capacity between the different applications and pro-
vides undelayed, continuous data transfer where data packets with higher priority
(e.g. VoIP) are given transmission preference.
