ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
Note: The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both uppercase and
lowercase), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to
32 characters.
5. As an option, you can change the idle time-out for an administrator login session. Enter a
new number of minutes in the Idle Timeout field. (The default setting is 5 minutes.)
6. Click Apply to save your settings.
7. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for the user with the name guest.
Note: After a factory defaults reset, the password and time-out value are
changed back to password and 5 minutes, respectively.
You can also change the administrator login policies:
•Disable login. Deny login access.
Note: You obviously do not want to deny login access to yourself if you are
logged in as an administrator.
•Deny login access from a WAN interface. By default, the administrator cannot log in from
a WAN interface. You can change this setting to allow login access from a WAN interface.
•Deny or allow login access from specific IP addresses. By default, the administrator can
log in from any IP address.
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP
addresses as practical.
•Deny or allow login access from specific browsers. By default, the administrator can log in
from any browser.
In general, these policy settings work well for an administrator. However, you can change the
administrator login policies as explained in Set User Login Policies on page 299.
Configure Remote Management Access
An administrator can configure, upgrade, and check the status of the wireless VPN firewall
over the Internet through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN connection.
