Static DNS Typically, DNS addresses are automatically provided by the DHCP
server, if the DHCP is enabled and Static DNS is disabled (off). If Static DNS is
enabled, (on), it overrides the DNS1 and DNS2 addresses supplied by the DHCP
server, in favor of the static addresses edited on these menus.

The advanced network settings are explained below. Press the respective button on

Host name / Domain name These names combine to uniquely identify the base by
name, on the network. This name can be used to access the base over the network
instead of using the IP address. This feature only works if DHCP is enabled on the

and it is configured to receive updates from the DHCP server.
To enter or change host or domain name, press the Edit host name or the Edit
domain name button on the ADVANCED NETWORK SETTINGS display. On the
respective Edit… display, use the Erase button to clear any characters in a current
name that you want to change. Use the , , and buttons to move the highlight
to a character you would like to enter in the name, and then press the Sel (select)
button to enter it. When you are finished, press the Back button to save the name.
To enable/disable Static DNS, press the DHCP
