DESCRIPTION

System Name

System Name is a unique name to identify the Prestige in an Ethernet network.. It

is recommended you enter your computer’s “Computer name” in this field (see the

Wizard Setup chapter 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

Inactivity Timer

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

or SMT) 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).

System DNS Servers (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 Prestige uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify

here) to resolve domain names for VPN, DDNS and the time server.
