General Setup

The chapter shows you the information on general setup.

19.1 General Setup

Menu 1 – General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown next). The System Name field is for identification purposes.

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. While you must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the ZyXEL Device via DHCP.
