Setting up the E-mail and System
Administrators
The next step is to set up the following:
E-mail Administrator — This is a real person/network
I
user who receives system reports and undeliverable
e-mail in their own e-mail.
System Administrator — There is a default user, with a
I
username of admin, who acts as the System
Administrator. The admin user has the ability to manage
the Internet Server using the web interface. Any
network user who knows the password can login as
admin and act as System Administrator.
In the Mail Administrator Configuration section, enter the
1
details of a real user who will be the E-mail Administrator.
This user will be created when you complete the wizard.
Set up a password for the admin user. To do this, click

on the radio button Activate administrator password and
enter the password twice into the textboxes provided.

ticate with the username admin and the password you
have selected.

prompted for the username admin and this password.

Configuring the WAN Connection

To configure the WAN interface, select either Ethernet,
External Modem or External Euro-ISDN from the WAN
device pull-down menu. This determines whether the WAN
Ethernet port or Serial Port 1 is used for the Internet
Gateway and alters the screen accordingly.

Ethernet

If you are using the WAN Ethernet port to communicate
with your Internet Gateway, you need to configure the IP
parameters for the link.
