| maps the |
| that you type into your web browser (for |
| example, www.zoom.com) to the numerical IP |
| addresses that are used for Internet routing. |
| When you type a URL into your browser, your |
| PC sends a request to a DNS server to find the |
| equivalent numerical address. |
|

Set DNS Manually | If you select this option, enter the IP |
| address(es) of one or more Domain Name |
| Servers in the following text boxes. |
| DNS 1: The IP Address of the primary Domain |
| Name Server |
| DNS 2: The address of an alternate DNS |

| that address for Internet access instead of the |
| AP+4’s MAC address. |
Enable uPNP | Select this check box to enable Universal Plug |
| and Play, which lets LAN devices connect |
| automatically to one another. |
Enable Ping | Select this check box to allow someone to ping |
Access on WAN | the AP+4 over the Internet . This is useful for |
| troubleshooting – it can allow a technician to |
| remotely ping the AP+4 to see if it is working. |
| In normal use, this option should be disabled |
| for security reasons. |
