the Modem’s system time
by synchronizing with a
public time server over the
Internet. Then configure
two different time servers by selecting the options in the Primary
Server and Secondary Server fields.

Password Settings
Use this page to restrict
access based on a
password. By default, the
password is “admin”.
Passwords can contain
from 3 to12 alphanumeric
characters which are case
sensitive.
Note: If your password
is lost, or you cannot
gain access to the user
interface, press the reset
button on the rear panel
(holding it down for at
least 10 seconds) to restore the factory defaults. (By default the
password is “admin” password.)
Enter a maximum Idle Time Out (in minutes) to define a maximum
period of time an inactive login session will be maintained. If the
connection is inactive for longer than the maximum idle time, it will be
logged out, and you will have to login to the web management system
again. (Default: 10 minutes)
