Using The System Setup Screen

Using The System Setup Screen

Use the System Setup screen to enter settings that are mode-independent.

 

 

Figure 6. The System Setup Screen

The following table describes the fields in the System Setup screen.

 

 

 

 

Admin

 

 

Administrator PC Mac Address

This is used to identify the computer. Provide this information if this computer is

 

 

normally used.

 

 

If the computer has both a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, and a Wireless interface, then it

 

 

will have a different MAC address for each. The MAC address is also called the

 

 

“Physical Address”. This address is obtained by checking the Properties for the desired

 

 

interface, but the provided Set to my PC buttons make this unnecessary.

 

 

Ethernet Port - the MAC address, on the computer, for the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port.

 

 

Wireless Interface - the MAC address, on the computer, for the Wireless interface.

 

 

Set to my PC - only one of these buttons will work. If connected via Wireless, the

 

 

button for the Wireless interface will insert the computer’s Wireless MAC address into

 

 

the field provided. If connected via the Wired Ethernet interface, the button for the

 

 

Ethernet port will insert the computer’s Ethernet MAC address into the field provided.

 

No login required for admin PC

If enabled, and the MAC address of the computer is provided, users are not prompted

 

 

for the password when they connect using the computer.

 

 

Users should set a password for the admin login, using the password fields below. This

 

 

option is provided to allow users to set a password, but avoid the inconvenience of being

 

 

prompted for the password whenever they want to change the settings.

 

Change Admin login

This login is required to change any settings on the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router.

 

 

(By default, the password is APC, so the first time a connection is made, there is no

 

 

prompt for the password.)

 

 

Check this box to change the current password, and then enter the required password in

 

 

the fields below. If this checkbox is enabled, and the password fields left blank, then the

 

 

password is cleared (set to no password).

 

New Password

Enter the new password here.

 

 

Note that if the password is set, a prompt appears for the username and password when

 

 

a connection is made. Use Admin as the user name.

 

Verify Password

Re-enter the new password in this field to ensure it is correct.
