DESCRIPTION

General Setup

 

 

 

System Name

Choose a descriptive name for identification purposes. It is recommended you enter

 

your computer’s “Computer name” in this field. This name can be up to 30

 

alphanumeric characters long. Spaces are not allowed, but dashes “-” and

 

underscores "_" are accepted.

 

 

Domain Name

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If

 

you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used.

 

While you must enter the host name (System Name), the domain name can be

 

assigned from the ZyWALL via DHCP.

 

Enter the domain name (if you know it) here. If you leave this field blank, the ISP

 

may assign a domain name via DHCP.

 

The domain name entered by you is given priority over the ISP assigned domain

 

name.

 

 

Administrator

Type how many minutes a management session (either via the web configurator or

Inactivity Timer

SMT) can be left idle before the session times out. The default is 5 minutes. After it

 

times out you have to log in with your password again. Very long idle timeouts may

 

have security risks. A value of "0" means a management session never times out,

 

no matter how long it has been left idle (not recommended).
