Manually Configuring your Router
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 in to 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.
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, 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, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You
will have to log in to 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 in to the Router’s advanced setup interface at one time.
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 in which you reside. If you reside in an area that
observes daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box next to “Daylight
Savings”. 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. You now have the option to select a primary and a backup NTP
server to keep your Router’s clock synchronized with different NTP time servers on
the Internet. Select your desired NTP server from the drop-down boxes, or simply
keep it as is.
