Configuration through the web interface

Host List settings

The Host List settings page is used to add or remove entries from the host list. For Digi devices

using the DialServ feature, the host list provides a means to map a phone number to a network

destination.

The Host List settings are:

 Local Name: A phone number.

 Resolves To: a network destination.

 Add button: Adds the entry to the host list.

When accessing a device by name, the Digi device will attempt to locate the name within the host

list. When a match is found, the host name is mapped to the alias. Typically, this is used as a first

means of locating the destination address before using the domain name system (DNS).

Each host list entry consists of a local name string which is mapped to an resolves to destination.

The destination can be either an IP Address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). By creating

several entries, the host list will allow a many-to-one mapping of multiple host names to a single

destination, as well as a one-to-many mapping of a host name to multiple destinations. The one-to-

many mapping allows a fail-over option; that is, a connection to the IP address first attempts to

resolve to the first name in the host list. If that connection attempt fails, then it attempts to resolve

to the next name in the host list.
