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.
Enabling Remote Management
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote
management allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings from
anywhere on the Internet. There are two methods of remotely managing
the Router. The first is to allow access to the Router from anywhere on the
Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely manage the Router”.
By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet,
you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the
password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP
address only to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but
less convenient. To use this method, enter the IP address you know
you will be accessing the Router from in the space provided and select
“Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router”. Before you
enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your
administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially open
your Router to intrusion.
