USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
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 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 “System Settings” 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 Web-Based
Advanced User 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”�
