Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX400
The Administration Tab - Management
This section of the Administration tab allows the network’s administrator to manage specific Router functions for
access and security.
Router Password
Local Router Access
Router Password and Re-enter to confirm. You can change the Router’s password from here. Enter a new
Router password and then type it again in the Re-enter to confirm field to confirm.
HTTPS Web Access
Access Server. HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) is the communications protocol used to connect to servers
on the World Wide Web. HTTPS is a similar protocol, but it uses SSL (Secured Socket Layer) to encrypt
transmitted data, so security is increased. To use HTTPS when you access the Web-based Utility, click the Enable
radio button.
Remote Router Access
Remote Management and Management Port. To access the Router remotely, from outside the network, verify
that Enable is selected. Then, enter the port number that will be open to outside access. You will need to enter
the Router’s password when accessing the Router this way, as usual.
Use HTTPS. If you want to require the use of SSL (Secured Socket Layer) to encrypt transmitted data, click the
checkbox.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides network administrators with the ability to monitor
the status of the Router and receive notification of any critical events as they occur on the network.
SNMP. To enable SNMP, select the Enable radio button. To configure SNMP, complete all fields. To disable SNMP,
select the Disable radio button.
Contact. Enter the name of the network administrator for the Router, and a contact number or e-mail address.
Device Name. Enter the name of the Router.
