Appendix
112 AX3000 Model 80WMS - User's Manual
For a "Direct (A)" update, two entries are added in the DNS server database:
- A "Host" type entry, containing the terminal IP address,
- A "Text" type entry, containing the terminal signature.
Note: the DNS server will be updated only if the terminal name is a full name:
ended by a DNS domain (i.e. FQDN).
For a "Reverse (PRT)" update, one entry is added: a "Pointer" type entry,
containing the terminal’s full name.
Note: the signature allows the terminal to check its "Host" type entry. If the
check fails (i.e. no associated signature or wrong associated signature) the
terminal’s behavior during the DNS server update depends on the value of the
set-up parameter "Action on Error" (see Chapter 3.1):
- Display an error: a red dialog box is displayed. The user may reboot the
terminal or enter the set-up.
- Continue the update: the entries ("Host", "Text" and "Pointer") are
overwritten.
- Cancel the update: the DNS update is aborted but the terminal is
available for use.
The type ("direct" or "direct / reverse") and the result (success or failure) of the
DNS update are returned to the terminal and are available in the terminal set-up.
See chapter 9.3.
A.5 - SETTING-UP AXEL DHCP OPTIONS
In addition to the standard options (IP addresses, DNS server...), the DHCP
server can be used to communicate manufacturer specific information: this
allows to set "Axel DHCP options ".
For example, Axel’s auto-configuration feature (see chapter 2.1) requires the
terminal to know the network location of the machine running the management
tool (AxRM). This information can be given to terminals using this DHCP
feature.
