The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.

example, in the network address “www.zyxel.com/support/files”, the domain
name is “www.zyxel.com”.

The System Screen
Use the

name of your Windows computer.
In Windows XP, click

Host Name
Choose a descriptive name for identification purposes. It is
recommended you enter your computer’s “Computer name” in this field.
This name can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters long. Spaces are not
allowed, but dashes “-” and underscores "_" are accepted.
Domain Name
Enter the domain name (if you know it) here. If you leave this field blank,
the ISP may assign a domain name via DHCP.
The domain name entered by you is given priority over the ISP assigned
domain name.
Administrator
Inactivity
Timer
Type how many minutes a management session (either via the web
configurator) can be left idle before the session times out. The default is
5 minutes. After it times out you have to log in with your password again.
Very long idle timeouts may have security risks. A value of "0" means a
management session never times out, no matter how long it has been
left idle (not recommended).
