The DNS Tab
This configuration form is used to enter the DNS and WINS information that will be given to each host on LAN1 and LAN2 when the main unit is acting as the DHCP server on either or both LANs.
DNS Server IP Address: This is the IP address of the Domain Name Server (DNS) of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) for the system. The field is populated from the value found on IP Configuration form of the Administration PC. If this is subsequently changed, the Ethernet Adapter in the PC’s IP configuration must be “renewed”. See Static IP Addressing on page 13. Where the system is operating in an intranet environment or there is a local DNS, consult the Network Administrator for the address to enter here.
DNS Domain: This is the name of the local Domain Name Service (DNS). This can also be used under Windows networking.
WINS Server IP Address: This is the IP address of the Windows Naming Server (WINS) if present. WINS provides a lookup service converting NetBios names to IP addresses.
WINS Scope: Only devices with the same WINS Scope can communicate with each other on a WINS network. It is an optional WINS value. If the local subnet uses scopes, the correct one must be specified here.
