Changing System Settings
The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator
password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and off
the NAT function of the Router.
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for
greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and
keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in
the future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use
the remote management feature of your Router.
Changing the Login Timeout Setting
The login timeout option allows you to set the period of time that you can be
logged into the 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 timeout is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the
login session will expire. You will have to login to the Router again to make any
more changes. The login timeout option is for security purposes and the default
is set to 10 minutes.
Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s
advanced setup interface at one time.
