Serial Speed：When you need a backup link (for example, the v.90 modem) for
MB6000, you might need to configure the serial speed for the modem. There are
totally 6 options for the serial speed (bps): 115200, 57600, 38400, 19200, 9600, and
4800. You may need to reference to the user guide of the modem to configure the
right speed.
ALG plugin：This technique relies on the installation of a new, enhanced
Firewall/NAT - called an Application Layer Gateway. MB6000 provides two kinds of
ALG plugin names SIP and H.323. When you choose either, you can plug the
protocol.
Username: Username for MB6000‟s web administration. The default username is
public.
Password: Password for MB6000‟s web administration. The default password is
public.
WebGUI Protocol: The protocol web configuration used. HTTP is the only Current
choice.
WebGUI port: The service port for HTTP. User normally need not modify this value.
If you want to allow someone else to manage the MB6000 from WAN, you can check
Enable management from WAN, and modify the port value according to your needs.
Note:
I suggest to change it to: Submit doesn‟t mean saving the configuration
information. User must reboot the system, and then the configuration will be
saved. So if user saves the configuration, and doesn‟t reboot the device through
web page, the configuration information will be lost.
Normally, MB6000 can‟t be configured through WAN interface because of security and
other concerns. If user wishes to remotely configure the MB6000 through WAN interface,
there is one box to select to enable this feature.
Note:

Each time when the user modifies the username and password, the system
will request the user to re-authenticate the new user name and password.
Enable SNMP: It let the administrator can manage the MB6000 through the SNMP
protocol. At the same time, you must specify the Read-Only communicate Name
and Read-Write communicate Name, which enable the SNMP Manager to access
MB6000 safely. Also, MB6000 supports to send trap information to a remote trap
server to report the status of devices. Enable this function, you must specify the IP
address of Trap server and Trap interval, which indicates the frequency of the
device for sending trap information to the server.
Enable RCM：It makes MB6000 to be managed through RCM. At the same time. You
