System Setup

System Name

System Name is a unique name to identify the NBG-418N in an Ethernet network. It is 
recommended you enter your computer’s “Computer name” in this field (see the chapter 
about wizard setup for how to find your computer’s name). 

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 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).
