Administrative Security

The first configuration panel in the NetDSL General Configuration is the Administrative Security. From this panel, you can create a Router Name and select Password Protected for administrative security.

Naming your modem is mandatory. The default name for the modem is “NetDSL.”

If you are concerned with administration security, you should select Password Protected. This optional feature limits NetDSL Manager access to users with the correct password. To select this feature, check Password Protected, and then click Change Password. When you type your password and confirmation in the edit boxes, they will appear as asterisk (****).
