Setting The Dns Options - Nomadix HotSpot Gateway HSG User Manual

Setting the DNS Options

DNS allows subscribers to enter meaningful URLs into their browsers (instead of
complicated numeric IP addresses) by automatically converting the URLs into the
correct IP addresses. You can assign a primary, secondary, or tertiary (third) DNS
server. The HSG utilizes whichever server is currently available.
You must configure DNS if you want to enter meaningful URLs instead
of numeric IP addresses into any of the HSG's configuration screens.
Use the following procedure to set the DNS configuration options.
Enter (configuration) at the HSG Menu.
1. c
The Configuration menu appears.
Enter (dns) at the Configuration menu.
2. dn
The system displays the current domain (the default is "nomadix").
Enter a valid domain name (the Internet domain that DNS requests will utilize).
3.
Enter the host name (the DNS name of the HSG). The host name must not
4.
contain any spaces.
After assigning the host name, the system requests IP addresses for the primary,
secondary, and tertiary DNS servers (the default for the DNS primary address is
0.0.0.2).
The secondary and tertiary DNS servers are only utilized if the primary
DNS server is unavailable.
Enter the IP addresses for the DNS servers (located at the Customer's Network
5.
Operating Center where DNS requests are sent).
