ZyXEL NWA-1100 User’s Guide

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your device will 
compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't 
need to change the subnet mask computed by the device unless you are instructed to do 
otherwise.

Use the General screen to identify your ZyXEL Device over the network. Click System > 
General. The following screen displays.

Figure 23   System: General 

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Device Settings

Device Name

Type a descriptive name to identify the ZyXEL Device in the Ethernet network. 
This name can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters long. Spaces are not 

allowed, but dashes "-" are accepted. 

Administrator 

Inactivity Timer

Type how many minutes a management session (via 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). 

System DNS Servers 

First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Third DNS Server

The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address that the 

DHCP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the 

DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. 
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not 

configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a machine in order 

to access it.
The default setting is None.
