DNS CONFIGURATION
When configuring IP addresses for e-mail and periodical data transmission functions, domain names can be defined for the servers. To resolve the
domain names, WS10 needs access to a DNS Server.
If WS10 is using dynamic IP (DHCP enabled), possibly a DNS address has been assigned by the DHCP server. If WS10 is using a fixed IP or if the
assigned DNS address is invalid, a DNS configuration can be established for the WS10 by including a file DNS.CFG, similar to the following
example. If the WS10 has established a PPP connection to an external server, the DNS configuration assigned by this server will prevail, and the
configuration described here will be ignored.
[General]
PrimaryServer = 200.200.200.200
SecondaryServer = 200.200.200.201
All DNS configuration is under the [General] section. The IP address of the main DNS is
assigned to PrimaryServer. A secondary DNS IP may be assigned to SecondaryServer.
