System
There are six items within the
System
section:
Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade,
Backup/Restore, Restart
and
User Management.
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 will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If
you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as
shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Daylight Saving
is also known as
Summer Time Period.
Many places in the world
adapt it during
summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time.
Check
Automatic
box to auto set your local time.
Resync Period
(in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the
router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order 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.

Remote Access
To temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select a time
period the router will permit 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.
If you wish to permanently enable remote access, choose a time period of 0 minutes. This setting
cannot be saved into flash when timer set to zero.

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, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it
runs to take advantage of these changes.
Clicking on
Browse
will allow 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.
53
DO NOT power down the router or interrupt the firmware upgrading while it is
still in process.
Improper operation could damage the router.

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.
After selecting the settings file you wish to use, pressing
Restore
will load those settings into the
router.
