Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add
a password for more security, you can set a password from your
Modem/Router’s web-based user interface. Keep your password in
a safe place as you will need this password if you need to log into
the Modem/Router in the future. It is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management
feature. The login time-out option allows you to set the period of
time that you can be logged into the Modem/Router’s advanced
setup 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
Modem/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 Modem/Router’s
advanced setup interface at a time.
Time and Time Zone
The Modem/Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network
Time Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the Modem/Router to
synchronise the system clock to the global Internet. The synchronised
clock in the Modem/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 time, 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 Modem/Router to contact the time servers on the
Internet and get a response.
Remote Management
Before you enable this function,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE
ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD
. Remote management allows you
to make changes to your Modem/Router’s settings from anywhere
on the Internet.
