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 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 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 advanced
setup interface at one time.

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. You have the option to select a primary and
a backup NTP server to keep your Router’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 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.
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 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.
