DESCRIPTION

WAN IP Address Assignment

My WAN IP Address

Enter your WAN IP address in this field. The WAN IP address should be in

the same subnet as your DSL/Cable modem or router.

My WAN IP Subnet Mask

Enter the IP subnet mask in this field.

Gateway IP Address

System 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.

First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Third DNS Server

Enter the DNS server's IP address in the fields provided.
If you do not configure a system DNS server, you must use IP addresses

when configuring DDNS and the time server.
