LABEL DESCRIPTION

System Name

Type a descriptive name to identify the ZyAIR in the Ethernet network.
This name can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters long. Spaces are not allowed, but
dashes "-" and underscores "_" are accepted.

Domain Name

This is not a required field. Leave this field blank or enter the domain name here if you
know it.

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).

Server

Select From DHCP if your DHCP server dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the ZyAIR's Ethernet IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only)
DNS server IP address that the DHCP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave the IP
address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply. If you set
a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-
Defined
changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a
DNS server, you must know the IP address of a machine in order to access it.
The default setting is None.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyAIR.
