These settings configure the DNS servers to which the IP Office system should send DNS request when it needs to resolve name addresses into numeric IP addresses.
DNS is a mechanism through which the URL's such as www.avaya.com are resolved into IP addresses. Typically the customer's internet service provider (ISP) specifies the address of the DNS server their customers should use. In more complex networks, the customer may host their own DNS server.
WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is a mechanism used within a Windows network to convert PC and server names to IP addresses using a WINS server.
If the IP Office system is acting as a DHCP server, in addition to providing clients with their IP address settings, it can also provide them with their DNS and WINS settings if requested by the client.
