Definition of various operating parameters
8.1
General settings
General parameters can be set in the
General settings
area of the configuration
applet.
8.1.1 Defining the gateway name
You can assign an appropriate name to your gateway and enter it in the
Name
field. This name appears in the window title of the home page and configuration
applet, making it far easier to keep an overview when configuring a number of
devices.
8.1.2 Defining the user administrator and -password
You can define the user's name and the corresponding password, which secures
the gateway's configuration, in the
Change login parameters
area.
The validity of the newly defined password is checked when saving or activating
the configuration. Like any other changes to the configuration, a change to the
password must be activated and saved as described in section 3.2 “Checking and
saving the configuration” from page 22.
8.1.3 Defining the source for time and date
Your gateway does not have a battery-backed real-time clock. The internal time
will thus be reset to 0:00 hrs, 1.1.1970 after every restart.
The correct time is not required for normal operation. However, if this is important
to you, to get, for example
call detail records
with the correct time, you can
specify the IP address of a source for time and date in the
Get time from SNTP
Server
area. Your gateway will then synchronise its internal clock to the time
source at intervals specified under
Update interval
.
You can use a public server if your network does not have an NTP server. The TU
Berlin, for example, provides a time service under the IP address
130.149.17.21
. Bear in mind that it is a voluntary service and no claims can be
made with regard to its availability.
