4.7 Tools
The router supports a host of tools which will allow you to customize and debug your router.
4.7.1 System Commands
To make changes permanent you need to click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. The
following commands are used to configure the router:
Save all: Press this button in order to permanently save the current configuration of the router. If you restart the
system without saving your configuration, the router will revert back to the previously saved configuration.
Restart: Use this button to restart the system. If you have not saved your configurations, the router will revert
back to the previously saved configuration upon restarting. NOTE: Connectivity to the unit will be lost. You
can reconnect after the unit reboots.
Restore Defaults: Use this button to restore factory default configuration. NOTE: Connectivity to the unit will
be lost. You can reconnect after the unit reboots.
4.7.2 Remote Log
The remote log feature is used in conjunction with the Syslog server. For PPPoE and PPPoA connections, you can
select debug if you want to log the connection information. This is helpful when trying to debug connection
problems.
The remote log feature will forward all logged information to the remote PC. The type of information forwarded to
the remote PC depends upon the Log level. Each log message is assigned a severity level, which indicates how
seriously the triggering event affects router functions. When you configure logging, you must specify a severity
level for each facility. Messages that belong to the facility and are rated at that level or higher are logged to the
destination.
Table 1 defines the different severity levels.
To forward logging information, click on Tools (at the top of the page), then select Remote Log.

4.7.3 User Management
To change your router’s username and password, go to the Home screen and select Tools. Under the tools menu,
click User Management. From here you can change the login name and password. You can also change the idle
timeout.
