10.2 What You Can Do
•Use the TCP/IP screen (Section 10.4 on page 107) to configure the NAS’s TCP/IP network
connection settings such as the teaming mode and IP addresses.
•Use the PPPoE screen (Section 10.4.2.2 on page 111) to configure PPPoE settings for a direct
Internet connection.
•Use the UPnP Port Mapping screen (Section 10.5 on page 113) to automatically configure your
Internet gateway’s firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) to allow access to the NAS
from the Internet.
•Use the Terminal screen (Section 10.6 on page 119) to enable or disable Telnet and SSH access.
•Use the DyDNS screen (Section 10.7 on page 120) to configure the domain name settings of
your NAS.

10.3 What You Need to Know
IP Address
The NAS needs an IP address to communicate with other devices on your network. The NAS can get
an IP address automatically if you have a device on your network that gives them out. Or you can
assign the NAS a static (fixed) IP address.
DNS Server Address
A DNS (Domain Name System) server maps domain names (like www.zyxel.com) to their
corresponding numerical IP addresses. This lets you use domain names to access web sites without
having to know their IP addresses. The NAS can receive the IP address of a DNS server
automatically (along with the NAS’s own IP address). You can also manually enter a DNS server IP
address in the NAS.
