Dns Server - Proxim Orinoco AP-2500 User Manual

Network Parameters

DNS Server

The Domain Name System (DNS) maps a host name to its IP address on the Internet. The AP redirects DNS
resolution requests to a local DNS server on behalf of subscribers. The AP must have valid DNS settings and be able
to communicate with a DNS server to provide Internet access to customers.
NOTE: If you are setting up a demo with this equipment, the AP must be able to communicate with a valid DNS server
before it will function as expected. If you do not configure DNS, then all Internet locations must be in IP
address format, including HTTP requests from subscribers.
