prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining access after the time limit has expired.

Since you've already entered an Admin password, you can use that Admin password or enter a new
password. If you enter a new password, it becomes the temporary Admin password. After the time-
out period has expired, the Admin password reverts to the original Admin password you entered.
Enter a temporary password for the person you want to authorize.

Select a Timeout period for this password, from the pull-down menu (5 – 30 minutes, or Unlimited).

ited will enable remote access until the Gateway is rebooted. Be sure to tell the authorized person
