DNS servers
A DNS (Domain Name System) server is an Internet service that resolves domain names into IP
addresses. Name resolution is important when connecting to iDigi, as the Digi servers are provided
as fully-qualified domain names.
ConnectPort X2e ZB is capable of using up to three DNS servers. Up to two of these slots may be
filled with DNS servers from dynamic IP assignment sources, leaving at least one slot always
available for static DNS server configuration. A reasonable default is supplied for one static DNS
server, but this default may not be appropriate for all customer networks.
Wi-Fi settings
If the ConnectPort X2e ZB will use Wi-Fi communications, several Wi-Fi settings are important to
enable network connectivity.
A Wi-Fi configuration wizard is used to configure the Wi-Fi interface. This wizard
“teaches” a Wi-Fi ConnectPort X2e ZB device the wireless parameters needed to further
configure wireless settings and operation.
SSID: The name of the Wi-Fi network to connect to. enable Access Point mode on your
device by pressing the button. Configure the Wi-Fi interface of your laptop to connect to
the ConnectPort X2e ZB gateway’s access point. The name (SSID) of the access point
will be cpx2e-zb-xxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the
gateway.
Network security: The type of network security used on the wireless network will need
to be specified.
