PASSWORD SETUP
Management access to the ADSL Router is controlled through different
levels of user name and password. You can also gain additional access
security by using control filters such as ACLs and URL filters.
To protect access to the management interface, you need to configure a
new Administrator’s password as soon as possible. If a new password is not
configured, then anyone having access to the ADSL Router may be able to
compromise the unit's security by entering the default values.
Management access to the ADSL Router through the WAN port is possible
when remote administration is enabled and the connecting HTTP, port or IP
address is configured.
