Advanced settings. The boot mode affects which settings are available.
• Two settings are available for all Boot mode selections to define the
Automatic Transfer Switch’s Host Name and Domain Name values.
– Host Name: When an Administrator configures a host name here
and a domain name in the Domain Name field, users can then enter
a host name in any field in the Automatic Transfer Switch interface
(except e-mail addresses) that accepts a domain name as input
– Domain Name: An Administrator needs to configures the domain
name here only. In all other fields in the Automatic Transfer Switch
interface (except e-mail addresses) that accept domain names, the
Automatic Transfer Switch will add this domain name when only a
host name is entered.
•A Port Speed setting is available for all Boot mode selections to
define the TCP/IP port’s communication speed (Auto-negotiate, by
default).
To override the expansion of a specified host name by the
addition of the domain name, do one of the following:
• To override the behavior in all instances, set the domain
name field in Configure General Settings to its default
somedomain.com or to 0.0.0.0.
• To override the behavior for a particular host name entry
— for example when defining a trap receiver — include
a trailing period. The Automatic Transfer Switch
recognizes a host name with a trailing period (such as
mySnmpServer.) as if it were a fully qualified domain
name and therefore does not append the domain name.
