Administrative Maintenance
The Administration section contains nine action buttons used to configure system-wide settings and perform
a few high level operations.
Maintenance
Administrative Maintenance Screen
Access to the Web Server is protected by HTTP Basic Authentication. This is a simple methodology
where the Web Server will require a Web Browser to provide a username and password for each page
requested. The Web Browser will typically ask the user to enter the username and password once, then
will remember it for the duration that the Web Browser is running.
The Administration screen allows you to change the user name and password for the router
administrator. This is the only user allowed to configure the router. If you forget the administrator
name or password, the router can only be configured by returning it to factory defaults as described in
the quick start chapter.
Actions
Change Admin Password
Use this action to change the administrator's name and password. The fields may be a string of 0 to 15
printable characters. Do not use space or control characters. If you leave this field blank, you will need
to enter a blank username and password during authentication.
