5.2 First steps
Even though you can start using the FSG-3 with no setup at all, you might want
to configure some of the items of the FSG-3 to benefit from the full potential of
the product. To start using the full potential of the FSG-3, several items will have
to be configured.
1. Changing the administrator password
2. WAN or internet connection (If available).
3. Date and time.
4. Users, groups and folders.
5. Connection methods.
It is also wise to go on the internet to the Freecom site or OpenFSG site and see
there if you are using the latest firmware update. Firmware updates solve
problems and many new features are being added with each new release!
5.3 Changing the administrator password
For security reasons it is highly recommended you change the admin password.
To do this:
• Go to the configuration website of your FSG-3.
• Log in with "admin" and the old password
• Click on the Security section in the left menu.
• Click on the Administrator section in the left menu.
• Type in the old password and then enter the new password twice.
• Press "Change password"
5.4 WAN or internet connection setup
Next to using the FSG-3 as a standalone router and NAS and connecting
computers and switches and routers to the LAN ports, there is also the option of
connecting the FSG-3 WAN port to an existing router or straight to an internet
modem.
