The DNS setting on the Cisco Unified IP Phone allows you to specify remote
computers by host names, which are character strings with some mnemonic value,
rather than by using IP addresses, which are simply strings of numbers.
The phones use DNS to resolve the host name of TFTP servers,
Cisco Unified CallManager systems, and web server host names when the system
is configured to use names rather than IP addresses.
