First enter the old password, and then enter the new password-twice. Click Apply. 4. Change the login idle time-out by changing the number of minutes. Click Apply. Note: If you make the administrator login time-out value too large, you will 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 time-out values you entered will revert back to password and 5 minutes, respectively, after a factory default 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 ProSafe DGFV338. You must be logged in locally to enable remote management (see "Logging in and Configuring your Internet Connection" on page 2-3). Note: Be sure to change the firewall 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 "Changing the Passwords and Login Time-out" on page 6-7 for the procedure on how to do this. 6-8 Router and Network Management v1.0, April 2007
