DESCRIPTION

System Name

System Name is a unique name to identify the ZyXEL Device in an Ethernet

 

network. It is recommended you enter your computer’s “Computer name” in this

 

field (see the chapter about wizard setup 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 can be left idle before the

Inactivity Timer

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).

 

 

Password Setup

Change your ZyXEL Device’s password (recommended) using the fields as

 

shown.

 

 

Old Password

system in this field.

 

 

New Password

Type your new system password (up to 30 characters). Note that as you type a

 

password, the screen displays an asterisk (*) for each character you type.

 

 

Retype to Confirm

Type the new password again in this field.
