Reference Manual for the Model RP614 Web Safe Router

Basic Configuration of the Router 4-5

Configuring for Dynamic IP Account

If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses Dynamic IP assignment,

you will be directed to the menu shown in Figure 4-3 below:

Figure 4-3. Setup Wizard menu for Dynamic IP address

1. Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These

parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers. If you

leave the Domain Name field blank, the router will attempt to learn the domain automatically

from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.

2. Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically

transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter

the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is

available, enter it also.

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www

addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or

two DNS servers to your router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you

must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you

should reboot your PCs after configuring the router.
