Remote Management Help
This feature allows you to manage your Device from a remote location via the Internet.
- Web Management Port - Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. This Device's default remote management web port number is 80. For greater security, you can change the remote management web port to a custom port by entering that number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1 and 65535 but do not use the number of any common service port.
- Remote Management IP Address - This is the current address you will use when accessing your Device from the Internet. This function is disabled when the IP address is set to the default value of 0.0.0.0. To enable this function change 0.0.0.0 to a valid IP address. If set to 255.255.255.255, then all the hosts can access the Device from internet.
To access the Device, you should enter your Device's WAN IP address into your
browser's address (in IE) or location (in Netscape) box, followed by a colon
and the custom port number you set in the Web Management Port box. For example, if your Device's WAN address is 202.96.12.8
and you use port number 8080, enter http://202.96.12.8:8080
in your browser. You will be asked for the Device's password. After successfully entering the password, you will be able to access the Device's web-based utility.
Note:
- Be sure to change the Device's default password to a secure password.
- If the web management port conflicts with the one used for a Virtual Server entry, the entry will be automatically disabled after the setting is saved.
