4. Change the login idle time-out by changing the number of minutes. Click Apply.
The password and time-out values you entered will revert back to password and 5 minutes,
respectively, after a factory default reset.
Enabling Remote Management Access
Using the Remote Management page, you can allow an administrator on the Internet to configure,
upgrade, and check the status of your ProSafe DGFV338. You must be logged in locally to enable
remote management (see “Logging in and Configuring your Internet Connection” on page 2-3).

Note: If you make the administrator login time-out value too large, you will wait a
long time before you are able to log back into the router if your previous login
was disrupted (i.e., you did not click Logout on the Main Menu bar to log
out).
Note: Be sure to change the firewall default configuration password to a very secure
password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers,
and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. See “Changing the
Passwords and Login Time-out” on page 6-7 for the procedure on how to do this.
