BACKUP AND RESTORE
The DISCUS™ Multiplay Wireless VoIP AG backup facility allows backing user
and system data to external USB disks connected to the router. You may specify
backups to run automatically at scheduled times.
Two preliminary conditions must be met before enabling the backup mecha-
nism:
The file server feature must be activated and configured.
The file server must be consisted of at least two disks.
Please note that the backup is done at the directory level, meaning that it is not
possible to backup a single stand-alone file.
To backup your data:
1.
Access the Backup settings either from its link in the 'Advanced' tab under
the 'Services' screen, or by clicking the 'Backup and Restore' icon in the
'Advanced' screen. The 'Backup and Restore' screen will appear
2.
Click the 'New Entry' link in the 'Backup Schedule' section.
3.
In the 'Edit Backup' screen that appears, configure the following parameters:
(a) Type the source to backup. For example, A/homes.
(b) Type the destination of the backup files. For example, B/backups. It is rec-
ommended that the destination be an external storage device.
(c) Choose between full backup, incremental backup, or both, by scheduling
a time for the backup operation. You can choose between daily, weekly or
monthly backups in the 'Schedule' combo-boxes.
4.
Press 'OK' to save the schedule settings.
5.

up, the screen will display the status and progress of the operation.

CERTIFICATES
DISCUS™ Multiplay Wireless VoIP AG maintains two certificate stores:
Discus’s Local.
This store contains a list of approved certificates that are used to
identify the Router to its clients. The list also includes certificate requests that
are pending a CA's endorsement.
You can obtain certificates for the Router using the following methods:
Requesting an X509 Certificate. This method creates both a private and a matching public key.
The public key is then sent to the CA to be certified.
Creating a Self-Signed Certificate. This method is the same as requesting a certificate, only the
authentication of the public key does not require a CA. This is mainly intended for use within
small organizations.
Loading a PKCS#12 Format Certificate. This method loads a certificate using an already avail-
able and certified set of private and public keys.

DNS SERVER
Domain Name System (DNS) provides a service that translates domain names
into IP addresses and vice versa. The gateway's DNS server is an auto-learning
DNS, which means that when a new computer is connected to the network the
DNS server learns its name and automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other
network users may immediately communicate with this computer using either its
name or its IP address.
In addition your gateway's DNS:
Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the DHCP server.
Supports multiple sub-nets within the LAN simultaneously.
Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.
Allows new domain names to be added to the database using Router's WBM.
Permits a computer to have multiple host names.
Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (needed if a host has multiple network cards).
The DNS server does not require configuration. However, you may wish to view
the list of computers known by the DNS, edit the host name or IP address of a
computer on the list, or manually add a new computer to the list.
FIGURE 7.
DNS Server Panel
To add a new entry to the list:
