The DNS Server on the Bizfon provides the services to the hosts in the Bizfon’s LAN. With this service, Bizfon returns the correct IP address to the 
requested domain name, so that any device in the LAN can be accessed by its hostname or alternative alias name. 

The DNS Server Settings page is used to configure DNS server settings on the Bizfon and to define a list of aliases for the devices in the Bizfon’s 
LAN. This page contains the following components: 

Zone field displays the Bizfon’s host domain name as it is

. 

Time to live (TTL) text field indicates the time (in seconds) 
during which the DNS server will keep the resolved names in 
its cache. During this time the same address will be resolved 
from the cache of the DNS server. When this timeout expires, 
the requested address will be resolved newly. 
Mail Exchange (MX) text field indicates the mail server’s 
hostname. When resolving the email address, the reference 
will go to the mail server defined in this field, before being 
sent out to the external network. The value in this field will be 
used in the MX record in the DNS server on the Bizfon. 
The table on this page lists aliases for each of the device in 
the Bizfon’s LAN to be resolves through the DNS server.
