LAN.  
Remote Admin Port   
The port that you will use to address the management interface from the Internet. For example,

Tools_Time 
The Time Configuration option allows you to configure, update, and maintain the correct time on the 
routers internal system clock. From this section you can set the time zone that you are in and set the 
Time Server. Daylight saving can also be configured to automatically adjust the time when needed.   
 
 
 
 
 
Time Configuration   
Current Router Time   
Displays the time currently maintained by the router. If this is not correct, use the following 
options to configure the time correctly.   
Time Zone   
Select your local time zone from pull down menu.   
Enable Daylight Saving    
						

							60 
Check this option if your location observes daylight saving time.   
Daylight Saving Offset   
Select the time offset, if your location observes daylight saving time.   
DST Start and DST End   
Select the starting and ending times for the change to and from daylight saving time. For 
example, suppose for DST Start you select Month=Oct, Week=3rd, Day=Sun and 
Time=2am. This is the same as saying: Daylight saving starts on the third Sunday of 
October at 2:00 AM.   
Automatic Time Configuration   
Enable NTP Server   
Select this option if you want to synchronize the routers clock to a Network Time Server 
over the Internet. If you are using schedules or logs, this is the best way to ensure that the 
schedules and logs are kept accurate.   
NTP Server Used   
Select a Network Time Server for synchronization. You can type in the address of a time 
server or select one from the list. If you have trouble using one server, select another.   
Set the Date and Time Manually   
If you do not have the NTP Server option in effect, you can either manually set the time for 
your router here, or you can click the Copy Your Computer’s Time Settings button to copy 
the time from the computer you are using. (Make sure that computers time is set correctly.)   
 
If the router loses power for any reason, it cannot keep its clock running, and will not have 
the correct time when it is started again. To maintain correct time for schedules and logs, 
either you must enter the correct time after you restart the router, or you must enable the 
NTP Server option.

upgrade, ensure that you are using a PC that is connected to the router by wire.   
 
 Some firmware upgrades reset the configuration options to the factory defaults. 
Before performing an upgrade, be sure to save the current configuration from 
the Tools -> Admin screen.

Tools_Dynamic DNS 
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc.) using a domain 
name that you have purchased (www.whateveryournameis.com) with your dynamically assigned IP 
address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. When 
you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, your friends can enter your host name to connect to your 
server, no matter what your IP address is.

Enable this option only if you have purchased your own domain name and registered with a 
dynamic DNS service provider. The following paramters are displayed when the option is 
enabled.

Host Name   
Enter your host name, fully qualified; for example: myhost.mydomain.net.

Enter the username or key provided by your service provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider 
supplies only a key, enter that key in all three fields.   
Password or Key
