Updating the Firmware
From time to time, MyEssentials may release new versions of the Router’s
firmware. Firmware updates contain feature improvements and fixes to
problems that may exist. When MyEssentials releases new firmware, you
can download the firmware from the MyEssentials update website and
update your Router’s firmware to the latest version.
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 Web-Based Advanced User Interface. The timer
starts when there has been no activity. For example, you have made some
changes in the Web-Based Advanced User Interface, then left your computer
alone without clicking “Logout”. Assuming the time-out is set to 10 minutes,
then 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 Web-Based
Advanced User 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 “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 MyEssentials 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 Network Address Translation (NAT)
Note:
This advanced feature should be modified by advanced users only.
NAT is the method by which the Router shares the single IP address
assigned by your ISP with the other computers on your network and is
enabled by default. NAT should only be disabled 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 MyEssentials 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 “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 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”.

Manually Configuring Network Settings
In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you
will need to change your PC’s TCP/IP settings to DHCP.
Manually Configuring Network Adapters in Windows 2000, NT, or XP
1.
Click “Start”, “Settings”, then “Control Panel”.
2.
Double-click on the “Network and dial-up connections” icon (Windows
2000) or the “Network” icon (Windows XP).
3.
Right-click on the “Local Area Connection” associated with your network
adapter and select “Properties” from the drop-down menu.
4.
In the “Local Area Connection Properties” window, click “Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click the “Properties” button. The following
screen will appear:
(1)
(2)
(3)
5.
If “Use the following IP address”
(2)
is selected, your Router will need
to be set up for a static IP connection type. Write the address information
in the table below. You will need to enter this information into the Router.
6.
If not already selected, select “Obtain an IP address automatically”
(1)
and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”
(3)
. Click “OK”.
Your network adapter(s) are now configured for use with the Router.
