4.3.3 System
There are six items within the
System
section:
Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware
Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart
and
User Management.
4.3.3.1 Time Zone
The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network
Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network.
Choose your local time zone, click
Enable
and click the
Apply
button. After a successful
connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server
you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the
drop-down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP
server for you to use.
Resync Period
(in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes
the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing
the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as
possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.

4.3.3.2 Remote Access
To temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select
a time period the router permits remote access for and click
Enable.
You may change other
configuration options for the web administration interface using
Device Management
options in the
Advanced
section of the GUI.
4.3.3.3 Firmware Upgrade
Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its
functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software
it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified. Your router allows you to
upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.
Clicking on
Browse
allows you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded
to your PC. Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your
router.
Restart Router with:
To choose “Factory Default Setting” or “Current Settings” that user
want.
New Firmware Image:
Type in the location of the file you wish to upload in this field or
click
Browse ...
to find it.
Browse...:
Click
Browse...
to find the .afw file you wish to upload. Remember that you
must decompress compressed (.zip) files before you can upload them.

DO NOT power down the router or interrupt the firmware upgrade while it
is still in process. Improper operation may damage the router. Please see
section 2.4 for emergency recovery procedures.
Upgrade
: Click
upgrade
to begin the upload process. This process may take up to two
minutes.

4.3.3.4 Backup / Restore
These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your
PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with
different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is
advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your
router’s configuration.
Press
Backup
to select where on your local PC to save the settings file. You may also
change the name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.
Press
Browse
to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings files
that have been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the
current version
of the router’s firmware.
Settings files saved to your PC should not be
manually edited in any way.
Select the settings files you wish to use, and press
Restore
to load those settings into the
router.
4.3.3.5 Restart Router
Click
Restart
with option
Current Settings
to reboot your router and restore your last saved
configuration.

If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a
firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select
Factory Default
Settings
to reset to factory default settings.
You may also reset your router to factory settings by pressing in the small Reset pinhole
button on the back of your router for 10-12 seconds while the router is turned on.
4.3.3.6 User Management
To prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, all users are
required to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own
password.
You are able to
Edit
existing users and
Create
new users who are able to access the
device’s configuration interface. Once you have clicked on
Edit,
you are shown the following
options:
