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
3. Select the Connection method you wish to use and select the option for Input DNS Manually
If your unit does not have the Input DNS Manually option, please download the guide below for step by step instructions on how to update your IP settings manually (Pages 9-12).
4. Input the DNS server you wish to use
There are a number of different DNS servers you can use such as Google's (8.8.8.8) or (8.8.4.4), and we recommend speaking with your IT team to determine which server would be best to use for your facility but we have had good luck with the two options above.
