*DNSUSER Sets a user-provided DNS to query first when performing name resolutions in
the device.
• d.d.d.d=IP address of domain server
Note: You can set up a second DNS User, if you have two DNS users.
*DNSUPDATE Indicates whether the device should send DNS updates to the DNS server
specified by *DNSUSER. These updates are as per RFC2136. They are not
secure and are recommended only for a private network. In a public network,
the IP Logger services should be used instead.
• n=0 : DNS updates disabled (Default).
• n=1 : DNS updates enabled.
Table E-10: Common: DNS
Command Description
Table E-11: Common: Dynamic IP
Command Description
*DEVICENAME Name of the device (up to 20 characters long) to use when performing IP
address change notifications to IP Manager. The value in *DOMAIN provides
the domain zone to add to this name.
name=device name (for example, mydevice)
Example: if *deviceNAME=mydevice and *DOMAIN=eairlink.com, then the
device's fully qualified domain name is mydevice.eairlink.com.
Automatically Generated Names:
• #I3 - The ESN/IMEI will be used as the name.
• #CCID - The CCID will be used as the name.
• #NETPHONE - The phone number will be used as the name.
Tip: Each device using IP Manager needs a unique name. Two devices
cannot be called “mydevice”. One could be “mydevice1” with the other as
“mydevice”.
*DOMAIN Domain (or domain zone) of which the device is a part. This value is used
during name resolutions if a fully qualified name is not provided and also for
DNS updates. This value can be up to 20 characters long.
• name=domain name (i.e. eairlink.com)
If *DOMAIN=eairlink.com, then when ATDT@remote1 is entered, the fully
qualified name remote1.eairlink.com will be used to perform a DNS query to
resolve the name to an IP address.
Tip: Only letters, numbers, hyphens, and periods can be used in a domain
name.
