Admin Settings
The Administrative Settings page allows you to configure the management access
password, and IP address(es) authorized for remote management access over the WAN
link.
To protect access to the management interface, you need to configure a new
password as soon as possible. If a new password is not configured, then anyone
having access to the Gateway may be able to compromise the unit's security by
entering the default password.
Management access to the Gateway through the WAN port is enabled by default. To
prevent access by unauthorized hosts, enter the IP address for one or more known
hosts. Once any entry is added to the Remote Management Client List, access
attempts from any other host will be blocked.
Click System, Admin Settings. Set a new password, specify host stations authorized
for remote management access, and click Apply.
