3.3.2 DNS
DNA (Domain Name System) is a DDB used in TCP/IP application programs, providing switch
between domain name and IP address. Through DNS, user could directly use some meaningful
domain name which could be memorized easily and DNS Server in network could resolve the
domain name into correct IP address. The device makes analysis on dynamic domain name via
DNS.
Manually set the DNS, use DNS via dialing if it is empty. Generally, it needs to set only when
static IP is used on the WAN port.
Click the “Service>>Domain Name Service” menu in the navigation tree to enter the “Domain
