LABEL DESCRIPTION
WAN IP Address Assignment
My WAN IP Address Enter the WAN IP address given by your ISP.
DNS Server Address Assignment (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 ZyXEL Device uses a system DNS server (in the order you
specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS and the time server.
