4.4 Administration

This section introduces security and simple network management protocol (SNMP) and time synchronous.

4.4.1 Security

For system security, suggest to change the default user name and password in the first setup otherwise unauthorized persons can access the router and change the parameters.

There are three ways to configure the router, Web browser, telnet and serial console.

Web UI Configuration

Step 1.

Press Security to setup the parameters.

For greater security, change the Supervisor ID and password for the gateway. If you don’t set them, all users on your network can be able to access the gateway using the default IP and Password root.

You can authorize five legal users to access the router via telnet or console. There are two UI modes, menu driven mode and command mode to configure the router.

Legal address pool will setup the legal IP addresses from which authorized person can configure the gateway. This is the more secure function for network administrator to setup the legal address of configuration.
