Defining domain search path

To define a domain search path, proceed as follows.

  1. Select Settings > Network configuration.
  2. Switch to the Name & DNS tab.
  3. Enter the domain search path.

Note

  • To define more than one value, enter desired values separated by space character. E.g. tech.whl wheel.com
  • Protocol implementation enables defining up to six domain search paths.
