HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE

Assign DNS 
Manually



Select the checkbox to enable manual DNS server 
assignment, and enter the DNS servers that you want 
to use in the 

DNS Server

 fields below.



Deslect the checkbox to disable manual DNS server 
assignment. The CGN uses the DNS servers assigned 
automatically when it receives an IP address over the 
WAN.

It is strongly recommended that you do not enable manual 
DNS server assignment unless you have good reason to 
do so.

DNS Server

These fields display the Domain Name Servers that the 
CGN uses to resolve domain names into IP addresses.

If you selected the 

Assign DNS Manually

 checkbox, 

enter the DNS servers that you want to use in these fields.

Private LAN IP Setting

IP Address

Use this field to define the IP address of the CGN on the 
LAN.

Subnet Mask

Use this field to define the LAN subnet. Use dotted 
decimal notation (for example, 

255.255.255.0

).

Domain Suffix

Use this field to define the domain that you can enter into a 
Web browser (instead of an IP address) to reach the CGN 
on the LAN.

It is suggested that you make a note of your device’s 

Domain Suffix

 in case you ever need to access the 

CGN’s GUI without knowledge of its IP address.

Private LAN DHCP Setting

Enable LAN DHCP

Select this if you want the CGN to provide IP addresses to 
network devices on the LAN automatically.

Deselect this if you already have a DHCP server on your 
LAN, or if you wish to assign IP addresses to your 
computers and other network devices manually.

Lease Time

Use this field to define the time after which the CGN 
renews the IP addresses of all the network devices 
connected to the CGN on the LAN (when DHCP is 
enabled).

DHCP Start IP

Use this field to specify the IP address at which the CGN 
begins assigning IP addresses to devices on the LAN 
(when DHCP is enabled).
