resolution. When configured, host addresses for SNMP, Network Time and Email/SMS can be

specified in either full Domain Name format or in host-only format, provided that the appropriate

Domain Name Suffix is used.

The DNS menu is used to set parameters for network access to the Web card. Consult your network

administrator for these settings.

DNS Naming

Acceptable IPv4 DNS Server values consists of 4 numbers, ranging from 0 to 255,

separated by periods (.) For example, “10.0.0.1” Acceptable IPv6 DNS Server values

consist of 8 hexidecimal numbes ranging from 0 to ffff, separated by colons. A double

colon can be used once to eliminate the need to list consecutive zeroes within the

address. For example, “2001:0db8;85a3::0370:7334”
