Configuring the router

Field

Description

 

 

Remote

Remote management allows the router to be configured from the Internet by a

Management

Web browser. A username and password are still required to access the Web

 

management interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse

 

the built-in Web pages to perform administrator tasks. This feature enables you

 

to perform administrator tasks from the remote (Internet) host.

 

 

IP Address

The Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the router. If you input

 

an asterisk (*) into this field, any computer can access the router. Putting an

 

asterisk (*) into this field would present a security risk and is not recommended.

 

 

Port

The port number used to access the router.

 

Example http://x.x.x.x:8080 where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the router

 

and 8080 is the port used for the Web management interface.

 

 

CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM TIME

The system time is the time used by the router for scheduling services. You can manually set the time or connect to a NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. If an NTP server is set, you will only need to set the time zone. If you manually set the time, you may also set Daylight Saving dates and the system time will automatically adjust on those dates.

To configure the system time:

1Access the Configuration menu by following the instructions in To access the Web-based configuration utility: on page 13.

2Click the Tools tab, then the Time button. The Time screen opens.
