Procedure for Using a Name Server

To configure a DNS server, follow these steps:

1.Click Network and select Use the following IP address.

2.Enter the IP address for the DNS server in the Name Server box. The DNS server maps names (MyDeviceName.mycompany.com) to IP addresses (192.105.1.2).

3.Enter a name for a group of network devices.

4.Enter the domain name that this device will live in and is tied to the DNS server address assigned in step 2. This name can be used by other network devices to talk to it, instead of using the its IP address. Get this name from the network administrator, because it must be entered in the DNS server to work properly.

5.Enter the Base Socket. The base socket is the incoming port number which remote devices need to use to access the device using the named protocols.

Note:

Base Socket

 

This determines which network port (socket) on this Digi terminal server

 

another network device (such as another Digi terminal server or a PC) uses to

 

communicate using certain services. Most applications can leave this value

 

unchanged. To calculate these settings:

 

Telnet port = Base Socket + Serial Port Number

 

Raw port = Base Socket + 100 + Serial Port Number
