5. Configure the "DNS Setup" (optional)
The DNS (Domain Name Service) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses.
Ask your network administrator whether the DNS is in use, and if it is, for the host name, domain name,
and DNS server address to use.
a. Set the "hostname". Press Host Name and enter the hostname. A hostname is the host portion of
the domain name, which is translated into an IP address. The hostname is entered as a string using
the front panel arrow keys to select and change characters. The hostname may include letters,
numbers, and dashes ("-").
b. Set the "DNS Server" addresses. From the LAN configuration screen, press More to go to the
second of three sets of softkeys.
Enter the Primary DNS and Second DNS. See your network administrator for details.
