Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
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 Time-Out Setting
The login time-out option allows you to set the period of time that you
can be logged into the Router’s Web-Based Advanced User 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 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 Router’s
Web-Based
Advanced User Interface at one time.
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the
system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the
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, then place a check mark in the box next
to “Automatically Adjust Daylight Saving”. The system clock may
not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to
contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response. You
cannot set the clock yourself.

Enabling Remote Management
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router,
MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD.
Remote
management allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings
from anywhere on the Internet. There are two methods of remotely
managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the Router from
anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely
manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any
computer on the Internet, you will be presented with a login screen
where you need to type in the password of your Router. The second
method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the
Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this method,
enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router from
in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely
manage the Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password. Leaving
the password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)
Note:
This advanced feature should be modified by advanced users only.
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the Router
shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other
computers on your network and is enabled by default. NAT should
only be disabled if your ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses or
you need NAT disabled for an advanced system configuration. If you
have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the computers on your
network will not be able to access the Internet. Other problems may
also occur. Turning off NAT will disable your firewall functions.
Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered
by your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of
voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that
are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be
configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening
TCP and UDP ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability
to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router which way
it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature
disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish
to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature.
Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the “Utilities” page.
Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.
