System Setup

System 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 or 

CLI (Command Line Interpreter)) 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).
