Netopia 3300-ENT manual Superuser configuration

Security 9-3

PCs using UPnP can retrieve the Gateway’s WAN IP address, and automatically create NAT port maps. This means that applications that support UPnP, and are used with a UPnP-enabled Netopia Gateway, will not need application layer gateway support on the Netopia Gateway to work through NAT.

You can disable UPnP, if you are not using any UPnP devices or applications.

You must reboot the Netopia device for this setting to take effect.

The access privileges of the Superuser account are not modifiable. It is possible, however, to control who can log in as Superuser.

ADD SUPERUSER CANCEL

•Assign a Superuser Name. It can be up to 19 characters long. It is good practice not to use any easily-guessed combination such as your birthday.

•Assign a Password. Keep this password secure. If you lose or forget it, you will not be able to access the gateway without factory defaulting it, thereby losing all of your configuration information.

•You can disable Telnet or Web Access. This may be useful for extra security in preventing remote attempts to access the gateway.

•Select ADD SUPERUSER and press Return. The Superuser account is now configured.

You will be challenged for this name and password every time you attempt to log into the gateway.
