The domain name is the name of the Domain Name System (DNS) domain in
which the IP Conference Station is located.
DNS is used on the Internet for translating names of network nodes into addresses.
For detailed information about DNS, refer to
System.
Follow these steps to manually configure a domain name:
Press the Up or Down scroll button to select Domain.
The current domain is displayed.
Use the dialing pad to enter a new domain name.
To enter letters, use the numbers associated with a particular letter.
For example, the 2 key has the letters ABC. For a lower case "a," press 2 twice.
Press the 2 key repeatedly to scroll through the available letters and numbers.
Pause after the selected letter appears on the display.
Press the < softkey to correct any mistakes. Press the .sp-_ softkey to use a period
(.), space, dash (-), or underscore (_) character.
Press the Save softkey to save your changes.
DNS allows users to specify remote computers by host names, which are character
strings with a mnemonic value, rather than by IP addresses, which are strings of
numbers.
The IP Conference Station uses DNS servers to resolve the host name of TFTP
servers, Cisco CallManager systems, and web server host names when the system
is configured to use names rather than IP addresses.
Follow these steps to manually configure a DNS server:
Press the Up or Down scroll button to select DNS.
Use the dialing pad to enter a new DNS server address.
