Preferred DNS Server – This is the address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server. The DNS

The Systems/My Network page is used to assign the IP addresses for your LAN if you are using the
DHCP function in the PCX5000. The default setting for the DHCP server is “Enabled”.
The DHCP server works only when the Firewall/NAT is turned “On” as described in the
Security/Firewall web page. If you already have a DHCP server on your LAN, set the DHCP server
setting to “Disabled”
If you are using a different address with your DHCP server, enter that internal network address in the
My Network fields.
Note: If you change Internal Network address to ‘xxx.yyy.zzz.*’, the Gateway IP address will always
be ‘xxx.yyy.zzz.254’.
Regardless of the Internal Network Address setting, the IP address of PCX5000 configuration Web
pages will remain “192.168.100.1”.
