System | DNS |
DNS is a mechanism through which the URL's requested by users, such as www.avaya.com, are resolved into IP addresses. These requests are sent to a Domain Name Server (DNS) server, which converts the URL to an IP address. Typically the internet service provider (ISP) will specify the address of the DNS server their customers should use.
WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is a similar mechanism used within a Windows network to convert PC and server names to IP addresses via a WINS server.
If the IP Office is acting as a DHCP server, in addition to providing clients with their own IP address settings for LAN1 or LAN2 it can also provide them with their DNS and WINS settings if requested by the client

| • | DNS Service IP Address: Default = 0.0.0.0 (Do not provide DNS/Use DNS forwarding) This is the IP address of an DNS Server. Your Internet service provider or network administrator provides this information. If this field is left blank, the IP office uses its own address as the DNS server for DHCP client and forward DNS requests to the service provider when Request DNS is selected in the service being used (Service | IP). |
| • | Backup DNS Server IP Address: Default = 0.0.0.0 (No backup) |
| • | DNS Domain: Default = Blank (No domain) This is the domain name for your IP address. Your Internet service provider or network administrator provides this. Typically this field is left blank. |
| • | WINS Server IP Address: Default = 0.0.0.0 (Do not provide WINS) This is the IP address of your local WINS server. This is only used by Windows PCs, and normally points to an NT server nominated by your network administrator as your WINS server. Setting a value will result in also sending a mode of "hybrid". |
