Axis 210 User Manual page 35

Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the
following:
Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the AXIS
210/211. Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the
first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, e.g. myserver is the host name in the Fully
Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the
Domain name.
DNS servers - enter the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
Host Name Configuration
The AXIS 210/211 can be accessed using a host name instead of an IP address. The host
name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. It is always the first part of a Fully
Qualified Domain Name and is always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is
the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com.
Enable dynamic DNS updates - The AXIS 210/211 includes support for dynamically
updating local DNS servers whenever the product's IP address changes. Check this box to
enable the function.
Note that these settings concern the use of local DNS servers and should not be confused with the settings
for the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service.
Register DNS name - The name entered here will be associated with the AXIS 210/211's IP
address in the DNS server. An example of a DNS name is Axisproduct.example.com
TTL (Time To Live) - This value determines how long (in seconds) the reply from the DNS
server should be remembered when checking that the domain name for the registered IP
address is still valid. This reduces the number of times the client has to query the DNS
server, which in turn reduces network usage.
Services
