Bonjour is a service discovery protocol which is a built-in service in Mac OS X; for Windows
or Linux platform, there is correspondent software to enable this function for free.
Usually, users have to configure the router or personal computers to use above services.
Sometimes, the configuration (e.g., IP settings, port number) is complicated and not easy to
complete. The purpose of Bonjour is to decrease the settings configuration (e.g., IP setting). If
the host and user's computer have the plug-in bonjour driver install, they can utilize the
service offered by the router by clicking the router name icon. In short, what the Clients/users
need to know is the name of the router only.
To enable the Bonjour service, click Application>>Bonjour to open the following page.
Check the box(es) of the server service(s) that you want to share to the LAN clients.

ensure the Bonjour client program and DNSSD for Firefox have been installed on the
computer.
