Gateway IP Address

Enter the gateway IP address in this field.

 

 

System DNS Server Address Assignment (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 NBG-417N uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS and the time server.

First DNS Server

Enter the DNS server's IP address in the fields provided.

Second DNS Server

If you do not configure a system DNS server, you must use IP

 

addresses when configuring DDNS and the time server.
