Most corporate networks have one or more domain name service (DNS) servers that associate an
IP address with a device’s name. When the DNS is administered with the S8300 Media Server
name, you will be able to access the S8300 server by name as well as IP address over the
corporate network.
CAUTION:
If you configure an external DNS server, the DNS will be an extra device that, if not
working properly, can cause delays in S8300 access.
External DNS Server Configuration Screen
18 Enter the appropriate IP addresses from your planning documentation. Then, click Continue.
In the Name Servers fields, enter the IP addresses for up to 3 DNS servers on the corporate
network. The S8300 Media Server checks the DNS servers in the order in which their addresses
are entered for name-to-IP address resolution.
In the DNS Domain field, enter the name for the part of the network on which the DNS server(s)
reside (for example, mycompany.com). Internet domains are sets of addresses generally organized
by location or purpose.
In the Search Domain fields, 1 to 5, enter the names of the domains that will be searched, in
order, if a user enters an unqualified or incomplete name (such as a host name only without its
domain).
NOTE:
For Search Domain 1, enter the same domain name you entered in the DNS Domain field
above.
