Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface69section123456789Changing System SettingsThe “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and off the NAT function of the Router.Setting or Changing the Administrator PasswordThe Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in the future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature of your Router.Changing the Login Timeout SettingThe login timeout option allows you to set the period of time that you can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”. Assuming the timeout is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You will have to login to the Router again to make any more changes. The login timeout option is for security purposes and the default is set to 10 minutes. Note:Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface at one time.
70Using the Web-Based Advanced User InterfaceUsing the Web-Based Advanced User InterfaceSetting the Time and Time ZoneThe Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you reside in an area that observes Daylight Saving, then place a check mark in the box next to “Enable Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself.Enabling Remote ManagementBefore you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router,MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in the password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router from in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely manage the Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion.
71section123456789Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)Note:This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.Before enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the Router shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other computers on your network. This function should only be used if your ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced system configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the computers on your network will not be able to access the Internet. Other problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will disable your firewall functions.Enabling/Disabling UPnPUPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the “Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
72Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware UpdateThis innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new firmware is available. When you log into the Router’s advanced interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it. Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

80Setting up AOL for Broadband with the RouterThere are two types of AOL connections available—either AOL DSL or AOL Cable. A third service is called AOL BYOA (Bring Your Own Access). This is used along with an existing broadband connection, supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have AOL DSL, please refer to “Directions for AOL DSL Users” below for setup instructions. If you have either AOL Cable or the AOL BYOA service, please go to the “Directions for AOL Cable or AOL BYOA Users” section of this guide, on page 87. Directions for AOL DSL Users STEP 1: Create AOL screen names for the Router and for each computer that will be using your AOL service. STEP 2: Configure the Router for AOL for Broadband. STEP 3: Configure your computers with the new AOL screen names you just created.Step 1 Creating new AOL screen namesNote: Your AOL connections must be set to operate on the TCP/IP standard. If you have designated another protocol, reset them to TCP/IP before proceeding.1. If your Router is currently connected to the network, remove it from the network and connect it directly to your broadband modem. Then, log on to AOL as you normally do.2. Log on to your AOL master account.Step 1 Creating new AOL screen names
