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 N1 Vision.
Setting or Changing the Administrator Password
The N1 Vision 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 N1 Vision in the future. It is also
recommended that you set a password if you plan to use the remote
management feature of your N1 Vision.
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 N1 Vision’s advanced setup interface. The timer
starts when there has been no activity. For example, imagine 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, 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will
expire. You will have to log into the N1 Vision 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 N1 Vision’s advanced
setup interface at one time.

Setting the Time and Time Zone
The N1 Vision keeps time by c onnecting to a Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the N1 Vision to synchronize the
system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the N1
Vision is used to record the security log and control client filtering.
Select the time zone that you reside in. You have the option to select
a primary and a backup NTP server to keep your N1 Vision’s clock
synchronized. Select your desired NPT server from the drop-down
box, or simply keep it as is.
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 N1 Vision 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 N1 Vision,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD
.
Remote management allows you to make changes to your N1 Vision’s
settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are two methods of
remotely managing the N1 Vision. The first is to allow access to the N1
Vision from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can
remotely manage the N1 Vision”. 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 N1 Vision.
The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely
manage the N1 Vision. This is more secure, but less convenient. To
use this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing
the N1 Vision from in the space provided and select “Only this IP
address can remotely manage the N1 Vision”. Before you enable
this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your
administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially
open your N1 Vision to intrusion.

Advanced Feature: The “Remote Access Port” option allows you to
configure the desired “Remote Access Port for Remote Management”
feature. The default access port is set to port 80.
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 N1 Vision 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 not affect your
firewall functions.
