Hurricane 9200/S ADSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide

,!.(//3="#
You can specify an easy-to-remember name for the Hurricane
9200/S and a domain name for the network on which it resides.
These are used only to simplify access to the Configuration
Manager program.
The Name and Domain Name fields display on the System-Modify
page, as shown in Figure 11 on page 42.
You can set a name only or a name and domain name together.
If you specify a name only, then the next time you want to
access Configuration Manager, you can type this name in
the location box in your Web browser instead of typing the
numeric IP address. For example, if you named the device
myrouter (and left the Domain Name field blank), then you
could type the following in your Web browser to access
Configuration Manager:
http://myrouter
If you also specify a domain name for the ADSL-Ethernet
router, the next time you access Configuration Manager;
type the domain name and the device name in your Web
browser. For example, if you entered myrouter in the Name
field and mydomain.com in the Domain Name field, then
you would type the following in your Web browser to
access Configuration Manager:
http://myrouter.mydomain.com
After you enter information in these fields, follow steps 3 through 5
on page 43 to save your changes.
Note
Using a name/domain instead of the IP address to access
Configuration Manager will work only when the DNS relay feature is
enabled. DNS Relay is automatically enabled when the DNS server
address configured on your PCs is also the address assigned to the
LAN interface on the Hurricane 9200/S. See Chapter 9 for more
information.
