– Administrative Settings
To access this screen, click the Administrative Settings button on the left side of the Advanced Settings
screen. Use this screen to change your RF550VPN password, set the HTTP port number, set remote
user configuration, and establish system log settings.
Password Settings
To set a new password, type a new one in the New Password box and re-type it for verification in the
Retype Password box. If you do not want to change any other item on this screen, click the Submit
button to accept the password change.
Important:
Use a safe password. Your first name spelled backwards is not a sufficiently safe
password. A password such as
xfT35$4 is better.
Caution: It is important to remember your password. If for any reason you lose or forget your
password, you can press the small reset button on the back of the RF550VPN. However, if you do
this, all configurations will be reset, including the password. You will have to reconfigure all of your
RF550VPN settings, but the password is reset to
admin.
If you are sure you want to reset all the configurations, hold the reset button until the serial LEDs of the
RF550VPN blink, and then release the reset button. This reset action will re-initialize the settings.
System Administration
The System Administration function gives remote users the ability to configure and administrate the
RF550VPN through the Internet. The default IP address of the remote administration host is
0.0.0.0.
This address means that any remote user can access and manage the RF550VPN.
HTTP Port Number: The default value is 80.
Allow Remote User to Configure the Device Check Box: To give remote users the ability to
configure and administrate the RF550VPN, you have to check this box.
IP Address: Type the RF550VPN WAN IP address into the browser of the specific PC on the
network.
http://192.168.100.1:1023
http://<WAN IP Address>: <Port Number>
Important: Once the HTTP port number (NOT Port 80) is changed and the users of the LAN
terminal want to configure the RF550VPN, the users have to type the LAN IP address
with the
port number: 192.168.2.3:1023
Ping: If you want to allow a remote user to
PING the device, check the corresponding box.
See information about PING in the Appendix.
System Log
If you want to enable the system log function, check the corresponding box and enter the Log Server IP
Address
. This log provides you with a list of all system messages (for example, uses who accesses
the Internet).
If you want to enable a
Detail Debug IPSec Log, check the corresponding box. This option exists to help
you in case there is a problem with the VPN connection.
Miscellaneous
Check the Force to reconnect PPoE box to force the reconnection of PPPoE if packets cannot
Send/Receive from the PPPoE connection. This ensures that the PPPoE connection is always there.
Check the Enable Keep Alive Ping box if you desire Ping to be kept alive. Enter the address that
should be pinged and enter the time in seconds that pinging should occur.
System Parameters
Check the Enable TCP MTU Adjust Function box to enable this function. Enter an MTU setting. This
option is to be used with specific applications that require adjusting the packet size.
TCP Session
Enter the amount of time in minutes allowed before a Telnet/SSH or TCP session will timeout.
