DT-6061 User's Manual - Platform (Build 16.0)
11/12/04 Datatek Applications Inc. 24
After the DT-6061 is properly configured with system parameters, it must be restarted in order for
the IP configuration to take effect. This is performed with the reboot command from the system
console. The reboot command has no arguments. It will restart the system so that any new
global parameters may take effect.
6.12 SYSTEM CONSOLE USER HELP
Syntax: help |? [command]
The available commands on the DT-6061 system console, along with a short narrative, is
available via the help or ? command. Command-specific help is available as well. For example,
help "L" shows help for all commands that begin with "L" or help "login" shows help for this
specific command.
6.13 CONFIGURE HOST NAMES
Syntax: hosts add|del IP=d.d.d.d name=<name> … name=<name>
The hosts command is only allowed when the unit is logged in.
The hosts command is used to configure the hosts translation table.
The DT-6061 can maintain a set of domain-style mnemonic names for originating calls to the IP
network, analogous to the /etc/hosts file on both UNIX and Microsoft Windows platforms. This
allows the DT-6061 to perform a translation between a user-provided domain-style name and its
associated IP address during call setup without using a DNS server. The use of a mnemonic
name is optional; the DT-6061 will always accept an IP address in its base form. If the name is
not present in the hosts table, then the resolution of the name to an IP address is attempted via
the DNS servers specified in the dns command below.
The name parameter value is a mnemonic of 24 characters or less in length, using upper and
lower case letters, digits, and the '-' (hyphen) and ‘.’ (period) characters. Upper and lower letters
are treated the same. That is, the name value is case insensitive. More than one name can have
the same resultant IP address. When using the del option, the reserved value all can be used as
the name value to delete all names associated with a particular IP address. If all names are
deleted for an IP address, then the IP address is removed from the table as well.
6.14 CONFIGURE DNS (DOMAIN NAME SERVER)
Syntax: dns [ name<n>=<name> ] [ ipaddr<n>=d.d.d.d ] (n=1,2,3)
The dns command is only allowed when the unit is logged in.
The name1, name2, and name3 parameters are domain names. These domain names are
appended to a domain-style name that is not fully specified for DNS purposes. For example, a
name “bender.ho.lucent.com” is fully specified, so nothing is appended by the DT-6061. A name
such as “bender” would need to have a domain appended before the DNS server could resolve it.
The DT-6061 will append the specified domain names in the order of name1 through name3, and
send the resulting strings to the DNS server in succession until the latter is able to perform a
resolution. The name can consist of upper and lower case letters, hyphen, digits, and the ‘.’
(period) character. The names are case insensitive and can be any length.
Each ipaddr<n> field is the IP address of a Domain Name Server to be used to resolve domain-
style addresses not defined in the hosts table. The DNS IP addresses are used in the order
specified. If only one address is to be defined, it should be ipaddr1.
Each time the dns command is run, the user is prompted for all values except for those specified
on the command line. The user is prompted in the following order: name1, name2, name3,
