Local Router Access

Router Password and Re-enter to confirm. You can change the Router’s password from here. Enter a new Router password and then type it again in the Re-enter to confirm field to confirm.

HTTPS Web Access

Access Server. HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) is the communications protocol used to connect to servers on the World Wide Web. HTTPS is a similar protocol, but it uses SSL (Secured Socket Layer) to encrypt transmitted data, so security is increased. To use HTTPS when you access the Web-based Utility, click the Enable radio button.

Remote Router Access

Remote Management and Management Port. To access the Router remotely, from outside the network, verify that Enable is selected. Then, enter the port number that will be open to outside access. You will need to enter the Router’s password when accessing the Router this way, as usual.

Use HTTPS. If you want to require the use of SSL (Secured Socket Layer) to encrypt transmitted data, click the checkbox.

SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides network administrators with the ability to monitor the status of the Router and receive notification of any critical events as they occur on the network.

SNMP. To enable SNMP, select the Enable radio button. To configure SNMP, complete all fields. To disable SNMP, select the Disable radio button.

Contact. Enter the name of the network administrator for the Router, and a contact number or e-mail address.
