DNS
Domain Name System (DNS), an industry-standard protocol, locates computers on an IP-
based network. IP networks rely on number-based addresses to move information on the
network. However, users are better at remembering friendly names than number-based
addresses, so, it is necessary to translate user-friendly names into addresses that the
network can recognize. The Wireless Telephone will use DNS to automatically translate
names into IP Addresses for these components: TFTP Server and the NetLink SVP
Server.
