The DNS acts as a directory by connecting user devices to the internet. Updating the DNS may improve connection issues. The DNS acts like an address book for the internet, and in certain cases your ISP (Internet Service Provider) may not have the latest information about our LookinBody Web's servers causing connecting issues.
Updating the DNS settings on your device may improve the following:
- Speed
- Reliability
- Security
The steps in this guide require computer network and device network settings knowledge as well as security clearance. We recommend speaking with your IT administrator for assistance.
1. On the InBody unit head into the Administrator Menu
2. Select option 16. Internet Options
