Figure 9-1: Set Password menu
To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice. Click
Apply. To change the login idle timeout, change the number of minutes and click Apply.
Note: If you make the administrator login timeout value too large, you will have to wait a long
time before you are able to log back into the router if your previous login was disrupted (i.e., you
did not click Logout on the Main Menu bar to log out).
The password and timeout value you enter will be changed back to password and 5 minutes,
respectively, after a factory defaults reset.

Enabling Remote Management Access

Using the Remote Management page, you can allow an administrator on the Internet to configure,
upgrade, and check the status of your FVS338 VPN firewall. You must be logged in locally to
enable remote management.
Note: Be sure to change the firewall's default configuration password to a very secure
password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language,
and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols.
Your password can be up to 30 characters. See
and Login Timeout" on page 9-8
Figure 9-2 shows the Remote Management screen that is invoked by clicking Remote
Management under Management on the Main Menu bar.
