Device Settings

This section allows you to assign a workgroup name, name, and a description to the DNS-343.

Workgroup

Name

Description

The Workgroup is used by Microsoft

®

Windows Network to organize available

network groups within the same network.

The unique Name appears for other network

services including shared libraries on

iTunes

®

and other media players.

The name can be used to access your device

from a web browser instead of using an IP

address, for example, http://dlink-xxxxxx.

This is useful when there is more then one

DNS-343 on the network.

By default the device name is d-link-xxxxxx,

where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the MAC

address.

Assigns a device description to the

DNS-343.
