SETTING UP DNS/WINS
The DX8100 allows you to set up DNS or WINS services, if your network supports these services. Access the Network page to configure DX8100
DNS/WINS services. For information about accessing the Network page, refer to Setting Up DX8100 Network Access on page168.
To set up DNS/WINS:
1. In the Network page, click the DNS/WINS tab. The DNS/WINS page is displayed.
2. Do one of the following:
• If you are using dynamic IP addressing through a DHCP server, click the “Obtain DNS/WINS info from DHCP” check box.
• If you are using static IP addressing, provide the following information in the appropriate fields. This inf ormation can be obtained from
your network administrator.
(1) Primary DNS server IP address
(2) Secondary DNS server IP address
(3) Primary WINS server IP address
(4) Secondary WINS server IP address
3. Click Apply to update the configuration.
WORKING WITH TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
The DX8100 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), which allows the DX8100 to access Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers to
synchronize DX8100 clocks. The DX8100 allows you to manually or automatically synchronize its time to an NTP time server. Additionally, the
DX8100 server can provide time synchronization for the other DX8100 network. There can be only one NTP time server in the DX8100 network.
This section describes how to synchronize the DX8100 clock and is organized into the following topics:
•Adding an NTP Time Server on page173
•Editing an NTP Time Server on page174
•Deleting an NTP Server on page 175
•Comparing the DX8100 and NTP Server Time on page175
•Manually Synchronizing the DX8100 Time on page175
•Setting Up Automatic Time Synchronization on page176
•Enabling Database Overwrite on page 176
