mask appropriate to your network and the gateway IP address if 

applicable.

Address. 

My WAN IP Subnet Mask

Gateway IP Address

Enter the Gateway IP Address of the neighboring device, if you know it. If 

you do not, leave the Gateway IP Address field as 0.0.0.0.

System DNS Server Address Assignment (if applicable)

 

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice 

versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a 

computer before you can access it. The ZyAIR uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify 

here) to resolve domain names for VPN, DDNS and the time server.
