DNS
If you click

link, the following screen will appear.
The Router contains a built-in DNS server. When an IP address is assigned, the Router will interrogate the new
device for a machine name using several well-known networking protocols. Any names learned will dynamically be
added to the DNS server’s table of local hosts.
Do any of the following:
•
To rename the domain name, click a host name link.
•
To add a host name, click the
New DNS Entry
link.
To add a new entry, click the

link. The following screen will appear. Enter the desired host name,
and then enter the appropriate IP address. Next, click
OK
to continue.
NOTE:
Names may not contain spaces. Only letters, digits and the special characters dash (-), underscore (_) and
dot (.) may be used. These special characters may not appear at the beginning or at the end of a name. The maximum

Personal Domain (Dynamic DNS)
If you click
Advanced
in the top navigation menu and then select the
Personal Domain Name
link, the following
screen will appear.
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) a dynamic IP address to be aliased to a static hostname, allowing a computer
on the network to be more easily accessible from the Internet. Typically, when connecting to the Internet, the service
provider assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP addresses, and this address is used only for the duration of a
specific connection. Dynamically assigning addresses extends the usable pool of available IP addresses, while
maintaining a constant domain name. This allows to user to access a device from a remote location, since the device
will always have the same IP address.
When using Dynamic DNS, each time the IP address provided by the service provider changes, the DNS database
changes accordingly to reflect the change. If the IP address of the computer changes often, its domain name remains
constant and accessible.
NOTE:
To use Dynamic DNS, you must subscribe to this service via your service provider.
To configure a new dynamic DNS entry, click the
New Dynamic DNS Entry
link.

Network Objects
Network Objects is a method used to abstractly define a set of LAN hosts, according to one or more MAC
address, IP address, and host name. Defining such a group can assist when configuring system rules. For
example, network objects can be used when configuring the Router’s security filtering settings such as IP
address filtering, host name filtering or MAC address filtering. You can use network objects in order to apply
security rules based on host names instead of IP addresses. This may be useful, since IP addresses change from time
to time. Moreover, it is possible to define network objects according to MAC addresses, making rule application
more persistent against network configuration settings.
If you click
Advanced
in the top navigation menu and then select the
Network Objects
link, the following screen
will appear. To configure a new network object, click the
New Entry
link.
If you clicked
New Entry
in the preceding screen, the following screen will appear. Enter a name for
the network
object in the
Network Object Description
field, and then click the
New Entry
link or the plus icon to create it.
