10.3.1 DNS Server Address
A DNS (Domain Name System) server maps domain names (like www.zyxel.com) to their
corresponding IP addresses (204.217.0.2 in the case of www.zyxel.com). This lets you use
domain names to access web sites without having to know their IP addresses. The DMA can
receive the IP address of a DNS server automatically (along with the DMA’s own IP address).
You can also manually enter a DNS server IP address in the DMA.
10.3.2 MAC Address
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address
is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
