Set DNS Server using Setstatus command or via Status Table

richaus May 1, 2013 06:51 AM

Is there a way to set the DNS Server using a Setstatus command or via the Status Table. I am using CR850 loggers with Ethernet modems connected to the logger via an NL200 via CSIO.

The help section states that the DNS server must be set in the logger via Device Config Utility, which is fine, but if there were a way to set the DNS server with a setstatus it would enable the program to undertake all the configuration required.

Thanks,

Rich

You should be able to use the syntax:

SetStatus ("Domain Name Server", DNS1)

You may need a recent operating system to support this. Version 26 has recently be published here: www.campbellsci.com/downloads

When you install this on a PC it patches you editor files and you should find the option above documented in the help under SetStatus.

Thank you for that Andrew - it worked exactly as I had hoped on a CR850 Std24

Hi Andrew, Is there a way to set both DNS servers?

I have an old email that indicates this should work, repeating the setting with the same name to add extra servers:

SetStatus ("Domain Name Server", DNS1)
SetStatus ("Domain Name Server", DNS2)

I cannot trace this in the manuals though!

Hey Andrew,

I tried comma separating them thinking it might have been like that but it just picks up the first one.

I just tired your suggestion and it worked!

Thanks for the quick response.

Cheers
Ryan
