System Setup

 

 

 

System Name

Choose a descriptive name for identification purposes. It is recommended you enter

 

your computer’s “Computer name” in this field. 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.

 

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

 

 

Administrator

Type how many minutes a management session (either via the web configurator or

Inactivity Timer

telnet) 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).

 

 

Password

 

 

 

User Password

 

 

 

New

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

Password

password, the screen displays a (*) for each character you type. After you change

 

the password, use the new password to access the ZyXEL Device.
