5.2 Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings
The Domain Name Server settings menu configures the servers the Web card will use for hostname
resolution. When configured, host addresses for SNMP, Network Time and Email/SMS can be speci-
fied in either full Domain Name format or in host-only format, provided that the appropriate Domain
Name Suffix is used.
The DNS menu is used to set parameters for network access to the Web card. Consult your network
administrator for these settings.
