Caution:
If you specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, any host can manage the SpeedStream 2602.
• IP Address of Virtual DMZ Host – You may encounter a client PC that cannot properly run Internet
applications from behind the NAT firewall or after configuring the Special Applications function. This
feature allows you to open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of
a DMZ host.
Caution:
Adding a client to the DMZ (demilitarized zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security
risks. Use this option as a last resort only!

Set or Change a Password
From the Simple Setup | Change Password screen, you can set a new password or change an existing
password to restrict management access. Passwords can consist of 3 to 12 alphanumeric characters and are
not case-sensitive.
Although any user can access the Status and Help menus, the Simple Setup, Advanced Setup, and Tools
configuration options are permission-based and require a password. The default password is admin. To
ensure system security, it is recommended that you assign your Administrator a unique password as soon
as possible.
Note:
If your password is lost or you cannot gain access to the management interface, restore the factory defaults.
Press and hold the Reset button for at least five seconds.
