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, or enable remote management.
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.
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.
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.
