Attain DNS

If you select this option, your ISP provider

Automatically

assigns a Domain Name Server (DNS). A DNS

 

maps the user-friendly domain names 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 domain name 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 Domain Name Server(s) in the

 

following text boxes.

 

DNS 1: The IP Address of your primary

 

Domain Name Server.

 

DNS 2: The address of an alternate DNS

 

server to use in case DNS Server #1 is out of

 

service or heavily congested.

 

DNS 3: The address of an alternate DNS

 

server to use in case DNS Servers #1 and #2

 

are out of service or heavily congested.

Clone MAC

Address

device in the LAN network if you want to use

 

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 devices connect

 

automatically to one another over the LAN.

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.
