Network – DNS server
DNS is used to resolve IP addresses to names. The factory settings on the industrial router are configured so that the
DNS server is assigned by the ISP. If you have a permanent industrial router connection, you can add a private DNS
server here. This, rather than the ISP-assigned server, will then be the preferred server.
