AD007User Manual 9
Inaddition to the IP address, the server can offer the AD007adapter
additional network information. The additional information is not
necessary for simple communication with the AD007, but may
permitautomatic configuration of network settings that would
otherwise have to be manually configured. For a list of these network
settings,see Network Setup on page 36.
Tofind out how to confi gure your server for DHCP,contact your
network administrator or consult the server manual.
Setting up DNS
DNS(Domain Name Service) allows you to accessyour AD007
adapter via a host name rather than an IP address. It is not necessary
to use DNS,but a host name i smore m eaningful and easier to
rememberthan an IP address. DNS simply associatesa host name to
an IP address. Once this association is made, DNS converts t he
requested host name to an IP address and forwards the request to the
device at the IP address. This process is invisible to the end user.
Like DHCP servers, there are many different DNS servers and
configuringeach type is unique. Contact your network administrator
to setup this service.
