5.1.1 Administrator Settings

Set a password to restrict management access to the access point. If you want to manage the access
point from a remote location (outside of the local network), you must also specify the IP address of
the remote PC.

Password Settings:

To change your password, enter your current password in the “Current Password” box. Enter
new password in the “Password” box. Enter it again in the “Re-type password” box to confirm it.
Click APPLY to complete your change.

The “idle Time Out” is the amount of time of inactivity before the access point will
automatically close the Administrator session. Set this to zero to disable it.

Remote Management:
By default, management access is only available to users on your local network. However, you

can also manage the access point from a remote host. Just check the Enable check box and enter the
IP address of an administrator to this screen.
