Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
72
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 Web-Based Advanced User Interface. The timer
starts when there has been no activity. For example, 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, then
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 Web-Based
Advanced User 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. If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving, then place a check
mark in the box next to “Automatically Adjust 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.
