DNS

Use this option to define the IP addresses of the primary and secondary Domain Name System (DNS) servers used by the Battery Management System’s e-mail feature. The primary DNS server will always be tried first.

See Email Recipients and DNS servers.

Send DNS Query (Web interface). Use this option, available only through the DNS menu in the Web interface, to send a DNS query that tests the setup of your DNS servers.

Use the following settings to define the parameters for the test DNS request; you view the result of the test DNS request in the Last Query Response field (which displays No last query or text describing the query result of the last test).

Use the Query Type setting to select the method to use for the DNS query:

The URL name of the server (Host)

The IP address of the server (IP)

The fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

The Mail Exchange used by the server (MX)

Use the Query Question text field to identify the value to be used for the selected Query Type:

For Host, identify the URL.

For IP, identify the IP address.

For FQDN, identify the fully qualified domain name, formatted as myserver.mydomain.com.

For MX, identify the Mail Exchange address.
