System Screens

This chapter provides information on the System screens.

See the Wizard Setup chapter for more information on the next few screens.

Figure 4-1 SYSTEM : General Setup

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

	Table 4-1 SYSTEM : General Setup
LABEL	DESCRIPTION
System Name	Choose a descriptive name for identification purposes. It is recommended you enter
	your computer’s “Computer name” in this field (see the Wizard Setup chapter for how
	to find your computer’s name). This name can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters
	long. Spaces are not allowed, but dashes “-” and underscores "_" are accepted.
Domain Name	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).

System DNS Servers (if applicable)

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The HomeSafe uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for VPN, DDNS and the time server.
