UNDERSTANDING THE WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE
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, 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 login to 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. The system
clock may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to
contact the timeservers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot set the
clock yourself.
