the right is read-only, and it displays the IP address provided by your ISP.

it from your ISP or from your network. Enter the IP address in the field below.
Select None if you do not want to use this DNS server. If you select None for 

all of the DNS servers, you must use IP addresses to configure the ZyXEL 

Device and to access the Internet.
