Manually Configuring your Router
Changing the Login Time-Out Setting
The login time-out 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 time-out is set to 10 minutes,
then 10 minutes after you leave, the login session will expire. You will have
to log into the Router again to make any more changes. The login time-
out 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.
Setting the Time and Time Zone
The 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 "Automatically
Adjust 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.
You now have the option to select a primary and a backup NTP
server to keep your router's clock synchronize with different
NTP time servers on the Internet. Select from the drop down
boxes your desire NTP server. Or simply keep it as is.
