DNS: Using Names Instead of IPs
You can use AT commands (page 61), Wireless ACE (page 15), and ACE Net
(page 16) using a template built from Wireless ACE to configure DNS in your
Raven.
FIGURE 1. Wireless ACE: DNS
*DNS1 and *DNS2 - Set these to your primary and secondary DNS servers.
These maybe be overwritten by Cingular when your Raven gets it’s IP.
*DNSUSER - Set this, if desired, to an additional DNS server to query when
the domain name is not found in the primary or secondary. If *DNSUSER is set
to 0.0.0.0, it will be ignored.
Note: If you will be using your Raven to communicate with another Air-
Link modem and both are using IP Manager (page 20) to translate
dynamic IPs to domain names, it is recommended that you set
*DNSUSER to the IP for IP Manager. IPManager’s updates occur more
frequently than Cingular’s DNS servers decreasing the time between IP
change and address resolution.
*DNSUPDATE - This command sets how often you want DNS Updates to be
forced.
PPP-Peer
The Raven uses the unqualified domain name of “ppp-peer” when it is PPP or SLIP
mode to resolve the address of the device or computer connected via PPP or SLIP.
If the Raven is not in PPP or SLIP mode, “ppp-peer” will resolve to 0.0.0.0.
