DESCRIPTION

 

 

System Name

Type a descriptive name to identify the ZyAIR in the Ethernet network.

 

This name can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters long. Spaces are not allowed, but

 

dashes "-" and underscores "_" are accepted.

 

 

Domain Name

This is not a required field. Leave this field blank or enter the domain name here if you

 

know it.

 

 

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).

Server

DNS server IP address that the DHCP assigns.

Third DNS

Server

server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave the IP

a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-

 

Defined changes to None after you click Apply.

 

Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a

 

DNS server, you must know the IP address of a machine in order to access it.

 

The default setting is None.
