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 synchronise the system clock to the
global Internet. The synchronised 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 “Enable 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.
Enabling Remote Management
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management
allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the
Internet. There are two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first
is to allow access to the Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting
“Any IP address can remotely manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN
IP address from any computer on the Internet, you will be presented with
a login screen where you need to type in the password of your Router. The
second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the
Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this method, enter
the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router from in the space
provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router”.
Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you
set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially
open your Router to intrusion.
