DNS servers
The Battery Management System cannot send any e-mail messages unless
at least the
IP address of the primary DNS server is defined.
The Battery Management System will wait a maximum of 15 seconds for a
response from the primary DNS server or the secondary DNS server (if a
secondary DNS server is specified). If the Battery Management System
does not receive a response within that time, e-mail cannot be sent.
Therefore, use DNS servers that are on the same segment as the Battery
Management System, or on a nearby segment (but not across a wide-area
network).
After you define the IP addresses of the DNS servers, verify that DNS is
working correctly by entering the DNS name of a computer on your network
to look up the IP address for the computer.
