General and WAN Setup 18-1
Chapter 18
General and WAN Setup
The chapter shows you the information on general setup and how to configure the WAN.
18.1 General Setup
Menu 1 – General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown next). The
System Name field is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you should
enter your computer's "Computer Name".
The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank,
the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System
Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the ZyAIR via DHCP.
18.1.1 Dynamic DNS
To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider. The Dynamic DNS service
provider will give you a password or key. The ZyAIR supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this
service provider for Dynamic DNS service.
DYNDNS Wildcard
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP
address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for example,
www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.
18.1.2 Procedure To Configure Menu 1
Step 1. Enter 1 in the Main Menu to open Menu 1 – General Setup as shown next.
