Generally speaking, DNS server is either set up by an IT company or set up by oneself. ES-4000V2 has the
function of resolving domain name which enables user to set up a DNS server on user’s own without any
expanded cost. While setting up DNS, please direct the registered domain name to the ES-4000V2’s IP
address beforehand. (All types of domain name need to be resolved by a DNS server, whether it’s an address
type or a mail exchanger one.)
In this chapter, it will walk you through DNS Setting with detailed utilization description.
DNS Setting
Domain Name:
It refers to a website address that user applies from ISP. An IP address like 198.68.20.78 is not easy for
computer users memorizing, therefore, the domain names intend to replace the figure-pattern addresses
with meaningful letter-pattern ones, such as www.airlive.com
The website address is composed of two parts, host name and domain name. Web browsers type
address like www.yahoo.com to log onto its webpage while it’s physical IP is 66.218.71.84. And DNS
server is the one who plays the role of mapped domain name and physical IP address together.
Enable DNS Zone
Allows users to activate DNS and set up the address mapping policies. (Figure 5-1)
