•
*DNS1 and *DNS2 ‐ The primary and secondary DNS
servers set by Provider when your PinPoint‐E gets its IP
address.
•
*DNSUSER ‐ Set this, if desired, to an additional DNS
server to query first before the primary or secondary (just
as a hosts file is queried first on a computer). If *DNSUSER
is set to 0.0.0.0, it will be ignored.
•
*DNSUPDATE ‐ This command sets how often you want
DNS Updates to be requested. Otherwise the PinPoint‐E
will only send updates when it is reset, powered up, or the
IP address is granted by network changes.
The “PPP-Peer” Domain Name
The PinPoint‐E uses the unqualified domain name of “ppp‐
peer” when it is in PPP or SLIP address mode to resolve the
address of the device or computer connected via PPP or SLIP
address. If the PinPoint‐E is not in PPP or SLIP address mode,
“ppp‐peer” will resolve to 0.0.0.0.
