DESCRIPTION

 

 

System Name

This is for identification purposes. Enter your computer's "Computer Name". This

 

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

 

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

Domain Name

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If

 

you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used.

 

Use up to 38 alphanumeric characters. Spaces are not allowed, but dashes “-” and

 

periods "." are accepted.

Administrator

Type how many minutes a management session can be left idle before the session

Inactivity Timer

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

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding

Servers

IP address and vice versa, e.g., the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2.

 

The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP

 

address of a computer before you can access it.

First DNS Server

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the

Second DNS

Prestige's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS

server IP address that the ISP assigns.

Server

Select User-Definedif you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS

Third DNS Server

 

server's IP address in the field to the right.

 

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

 

system DNS server, you must use IP addresses when configuring DDNS and the

 

time server.
