Administration Settings - NetComm NB3100 Quick Start Manual

4-8 Administration Settings

This feature allows the administrator to manage the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router by
setting certain parameters. For security reasons, it is strongly recommended that you set a
Password and SNMP communities so that only authorized persons are able to manage your
NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router. If the "Password" is left blank, all users on your
network can access the router simply by entering the unit's IP Address into their web browser's
location window.
Firmware Version This field shows the installed version of the firmware.
Administrator Password Enter the password you want to use into the "Password
Change" field and re-enter it into the "Password Confirm" field for confirmation. Be sure
that the password is less than 64 characters long and without any spaces.
WAN MAC Change The WAN MAC address can be changed from the original values if
necessary. Some ISPs require users to change the WAN MAC address to a registered one
when users change their access equipment.
External Admin Check "Enable" to allow you to configure the NetComm Cable/DSL
Firewall Router from WAN side. To access the setting page from external side, enter "http://
<WAN IP Address>:8080" into the web browser address column and press the "Enter"
key.
MTU Check "Enable" if you want to limit the incoming and outgoing packet size for the
router. Enter the maximum packet size you wish to set in the "Size" column. This can
assist with the transmission of emails with attachments, etc.
Reset Device Select "Yes" if you want to clear connections, reboot, and re-initialize the unit
without affecting any of your configuration settings.
Factory Defaults Select "Yes" if you want to return all the router's current settings to their
factory default settings.
Note: Do not restore to the factory defaults unless it is absolutely necessary.
Click "Apply" to make any changes.
