To Set the Panel DNS Resolver

The control panel comes configured with default DNS entries. You can enter new ones for your facility or delete the existing ones if you do not have a DNS server for your network.

Before you begin, you will need the nameserver IP addresses of your local DNS and any domain names you want to use.

Note: If the network settings for the control panel are set to DHCP, the DNS entries are gathered from the server and the local settings are overwritten.
Tip: If the control panel cannot reach the IP address set for the DNS nameserver, network connection may slow down.
  1. Press HOME > Setup > Network Setup > DNS Setup.
