Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
86
Changing System Settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator
password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and
off the NAT function of the 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
into 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 Web-Based Advanced User 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 into 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 into the Router’s Web-Based
Advanced User 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
that you reside in. If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving,
then place a check mark in the box next to “Automatically Adjust Daylight
Saving”. 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.
