Getting Started with the Configuration Manager

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

You can use this field to specify an Internet domain name for the

Name:

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

 

 

3.When you have finished modifying the settings, click [Submit]. Then click [Close] to return to the [System View] page.

4.To save your changes to the permanent memory, click the [Admin] tab, and then click [Commit & Reboot] in the task bar.

5.Click [Commit].

Committing Changes and Rebooting

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.
