System screens

This chapter provides information on the System screens.

System overview

This section provides background information on features that you cannot
configure in the Wizard.

DNS overview

There are three places where you can configure DNS (Domain Name System)
setup on the Business Secure Router.
Use the System General screen to configure the Business Secure Router to use a
DNS server to resolve domain names for Business Secure Router system features
like VPN, DDNS, and the time server.
Use the LAN IP screen to configure the DNS server information that the Business
Secure Router sends to the DHCP client devices on the LAN.
Use the Remote Management DNS screen to configure the Business Secure
Router to accept or discard DNS queries.

Private DNS server

In cases where you want to use domain names to access Intranet servers on a
remote private network that has a DNS server, you must identify that DNS server.
You cannot use DNS servers on the LAN or from the ISP because these DNS
servers cannot resolve domain names to private IP addresses on the remote private
network.
