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°

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°
