Figure 4:3 - Time sources configuration in web interface.

Finally, a settings menu on the upper right corner is showed. This menu allows to change the

password, enable the expert mode that includes additional parameters and log out from the

device.

Figure 4:4 - Logging settings.

The web session will automatically terminate after 15 minutes of inactivity. This setting can be

disabled or configured via the Expert mode in the Security section.

4.2.1 Network configuration from web

The configuration of a static IP for eth0 network interface is provided to illustrate how the user

should interact with the web interface.

First the user should select the Network section from the left column (Figure 4:2), then it should

select the tab ETH0 to configure the corresponding interface (ETH0 is the default selection when

entering the network configuration).
