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.

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 “Enable 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.

Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)
Note:
This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.
Before enabling this function,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE
ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD
. 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. This function should only be
used 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, and in some instances, setting trigger 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.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new
firmware is available. When you log into the Router’s advanced interface,
the Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you
will be notified. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it.
The Router ships with this feature enabled. If you want to disable it, select
“Disable” and click “Apply Changes”.
