Committing your changes

Whenever you use Configuration Manager to change system
settings, the changes are initially placed in a temporary storage
called random access memory or RAM. Your changes become
effective when you submit them, but will be lost if the device
is reset or turned off.
Host Name:
You can use this field to specify an easy-to-remember name
for the
ADSL Barricade. The next time you want to access the
Configuration Manager, you can type this name in the location box
in your Web browser, instead of typing the digital IP address. For
example, if you have entered myrouter in this field (and have left
the Domain Name field blank), then you can type the following
in your Web browser to access the Configuration Manager:
http://myrouter.
Note: This will only work if you are using the ADSL Barricade’s
DNS relay feature. This feature is automatically enabled when
the DNS
server address configured on your PCs is also the address
assigned
to the LAN port on the ADSL Barricade. See Configuring
DNS Server Addresses on page 81 for more information.
Domain
Name: You can use this field to specify an Internet domain name
for the
ADSL Barricade. The next time you access Configuration
Manager,
you can type the domain name and the device name (see the Name
field above) in your Web browser. For example, if you have entered
myrouter in the [Name] field and mydomain.com in the [Domain
Name] field, then you can type the following in your Web browser
to access the Configuration Manager: http://myrouter.mydomain.com
