54 Installing the HSG
Setting the DNS Options
DNS allows subscribers to enter meaningful URLs into their browsers (instead of
complicated numeric IP addresses) by automatically converting the URLs into the
correct IP addresses. You can assign a primary, secondary, or tertiary (third) DNS
server. The HSG utilizes whichever server is currently available.
Use the following procedure to set the DNS configuration options.
1. Enter c (configuration) at the HSG Menu.
The Configuration menu appears.
2. Enter dn (dns) at the Configuration menu.
The system displays the current domain (the default is “nomadix”).
3. Enter a valid domain name (the Internet domain that DNS requests will utilize).
4. Enter the host name (the DNS name of the HSG). The host name must not contain
any spaces.
After assigning the host name, the system requests IP addresses for the primary,
secondary, and tertiary DNS servers (the default for the DNS primary address is
0.0.0.2).
5. Enter the IP addresses for the DNS servers (located at the Customer’s Network
Operating Center where DNS requests are sent).
You must configure DNS if you want to enter meaningful URLs instead
of numeric IP addresses into any of the HSG’s configuration screens.
The secondary and tertiary DNS servers are only utilized if the primary
DNS server is unavailable.
