2. Choose Enable for Domain Name System.
3. In the Domain Name field, enter your company domain name.
At Rockwell Automation, for example, the domain name is
rockwellautomation.com.
4. Enter at least one IP address for your DNS server in Name Server IP
Addresses.
5. Click Apply.
The access point FQDN is a combination of the system name and the
domain name. For example, if your system name is ap1100 and your
domain name is company.com, the FQDN is ap1100.company.com.
6. Enter the FQDN on your DNS server.
This way the DNS server can map a friendly name of the AP to the proper
IP address. This is an important step for DNS as the DNS server has to
know the name of the AP to properly translate the friendly name to the IP
for proper connection.
7. Browse to the Services: HTTP Web Server page.
TIP If you don’t have a DNS server, you can register the access point FQDN with a
dynamic DNS service. Search the Internet for dynamic DNS to find a fee-based
DNS service.
