Chapter 2 Setting up Digital Networking 17

CallPilot Message Networking Set Up and Operation Guide

Configuring your system network properties

Configuring your system network properties involves setting up message networking according to

whether you use a DNS server, host names or IP addresses.

When you send a digital networking message, the internet uses the Domain Name System (DNS)

to translate domain names into IP addresses. Domain names, such as www.example.com, are

alphabetic, so they are easy for subscribers to remember. However, the internet is based on IP

addresses, which are numbers such as 198.105.232.4. Every time you use a domain name, a DNS

server translates the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name

www.example.com can translate to 198.105.232.4.

If you do not use domain names, the internet uses IP addresses. If you use IP addresses your

system does your name mapping for you. Some businesses do not use DNS servers, for example, if

they have a private network.

Configuring your system if you do not use DNS

Digital networking requires consistent name mapping throughout the network of digital sites. The

best way to provide name mapping is by using a DNS server. If you do not use a DNS server you

can use either a hosts file or IP addresses.

If your network contains only BCM systems you can use IP addresses and do not have to use hosts

files.

If your network contains sites other than BCM digital sites, you must use hosts files if you do not

use a DNS server.

If you use BCM as a gateway to an internet service provider and DNS servers cannot provide name

resolution for the BCM or other digital sites, you must use hosts files to provide consistent name

mapping throughout the network.

You must do your system network configuration before you can add network sites. You can test

your system’s name mapping with ping and nslookup commands.

Note: It is recommend that you use a DNS server. If you use a BCM system and all of

the digital sites in your network use DNS, go to “Creating a network site” on page 41.
