Actiontec USB/Ethernet DSL Gateway User Manual
Remote Management
Selecting Remote Management in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen generates the “Remote Management” screen. Remote Management allows access to the Gateway through the Internet via another computer. Actiontec recommends leaving the Remote Management Off (the factory default setting).
To access the Gateway from the Internet, activate Remote Management by selecting On and writing down the WAN IP address of the Gateway (see “WAN
IP Address”). On a computer outside of the network, open a Web browser and enter the Gateway’s WAN IP address in the address text box. A username and password prompt appears in the browser window. Enter your username and password to access the Gateway.
☞Note: Before Remote Management can be activated, the admin- istrator password must be set. To do this, go to the Setup screen and select Change Admin Password. Follow the instructions in the subsequent screens.
