Setting a Password
If this is your first time to access the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway, you should
define a new Administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. From the
Main Menu, select “Setup,” then “Change Password” and follow the instructions on
the screen (see page 4-4). Note that passwords can consist of 3 to 12 alphanumeric
characters and are case-sensitive.
Making Configuration Changes
Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once a configuration
change has been made on a page, be sure to click the “Enter” button at the bottom
of the page to confirm the new setting.
Note:
To ensure proper screen refresh after a command entry, be sure that Internet
Explorer 5.0 is configured as follows: Under the menu “Tools / Internet Options /
General / Temporary Internet Files / Settings,” the setting for “Check for newer
versions of stored pages” should be “Every visit to the page.”
