USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Changing System Settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator
password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on
and off the NAT function of the Router.
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a
password for greater security, you can set a password here. Write down
your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you
need to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended that
you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature
of your Router.
Changing the Login Time-Out Setting
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you
can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer
starts when there has been no activity. For example, imagine you have
made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your
computer alone without clicking “Logout”. Assuming the time-out is set
to 10 minutes, 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire.
You will have to log into the Router again to make any more changes.
The login time-out option is for security purposes and the default is set
to 10 minutes. Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s
advanced setup interface at one time.
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock
to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to
record the security log and control client filtering. Select the time zone
that you reside in. You have the option to select a primary and a backup
NTP server to keep your Router’s clock synchronized. Select your
desired NPT server from the drop-down box, or simply keep it as is.
If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving, then place a check
mark in the box next to “Enable Daylight Saving”. The system clock
may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to
contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot
set the clock yourself.
