Configuration

5.2 First steps

Even though you can start using the FSG-3 with no setup at all, you might want to configure some of the items of the FSG-3 to benefit from the full potential of the product. To start using the full potential of the FSG-3, several items will have to be configured.

1.Changing the administrator password

2.WAN or internet connection (If available).

3.Date and time.

4.Users, groups and folders.

5.Connection methods.

It is also wise to go on the internet to the Freecom site or OpenFSG site and see there if you are using the latest firmware update. Firmware updates solve problems and many new features are being added with each new release!

5.3 Changing the administrator password

For security reasons it is highly recommended you change the admin password. To do this:

Go to the configuration website of your FSG-3.

Log in with "admin" and the old password

Click on the Security section in the left menu.

Click on the Administrator section in the left menu.

Type in the old password and then enter the new password twice.

Press "Change password"

5.4 WAN or internet connection setup

Next to using the FSG-3 as a standalone router and NAS and connecting computers and switches and routers to the LAN ports, there is also the option of connecting the FSG-3 WAN port to an existing router or straight to an internet modem.
