4 ABOUT DNS/DHCP
If DNS/DHCP is used for communication setting of the Data Server
functions and FOCAS2/Ethernet functions, Ethernet addresses (IP
address and subnet mask) can be set at a time on the host computer to
facilitate Ethernet address control.
DNS
With the DNS function, a fully qualified domain name (e.g.,
www.fanuc.co.jp
) can be specified instead of a hard-to-remember IP
address just consisting of numbers (e.g., 192.168.0.10) when a TCP/IP
communication destination is to be specified.
NOTE
To use the DNS function, a personal computer
having the DNS server function is additionally
required. See Chapter 4, "SETTING THE
DNS/DHCP FUNCTION," in Part III, "SETTING,"
and APPENDIX C, "EXAMPLE OF SETTING UP
DNS/DHCP."
DHCP
