Enable DNS resolution for wireless nodes

UDT uses the SolarWinds Platform wireless component to manage wireless devices. By default, the wireless component does not resolve a wireless node's IP address into a hostname. To enable it to do so, adjust the Wireless settings in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console as follows:

  1. In the SolarWinds Platform Web Console, click Settings > All Settings.
  2. Under Thresholds & Polling, click Polling Settings.
  3. Scroll down to Wireless, and change the value in the Reverse DNS Timeout field to 1.
  4. Click Submit, and restart the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.
