Chapter 5.0: Management
5-1 Device Administration Settings
This feature allows the administrator to manage the router by setting certain parameters. For security reasons, it is strongly recommended that you set Passwords so that
only authorized persons are able to manage this router. If the Password is left blank, all users on your network can access this router simply by entering the unit’s IP
Address into their web browser’s location window.
Figure 42. Device Administration Settings
Administrator Password:
Enter the password you want to use into the “
Password Change
” field and re-enter it into the “
Password Confirm
” field for
confirmation. Be sure that the password is less than 64 characters long and without any special characters or spaces.
SNMP Function:
As with the Password, the SNMP community allows authorized persons to access this router through the SNMP Management tool. The router provides
three fields to enter these communities. The default words Public and Private are well-known communities that allow authorized persons who know the IP Address of
this router to access the read-only information about this router or have the authority to change the configuration. Also, the administrator can define any specific
community and configure its limits as Read-Only or Read-Write from the right side drop-down box.
WAN MAC Change:
The WAN MAC address can be changed from the original values if necessary. Some ISPs require users to change the WAN MAC address to a
registered one when users change their access equipment.
