Remote Management

Remote Management allows the DI-774 to be configured from the Internet by a web browser. A username and password is still required to access the Web-Management interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse the built-in web pages to perform “Administrator” tasks. This feature enables you to perform “Administrator” tasks from the remote (Internet) host.

IP Address: Internet IP Address of the computer that has access to the Router. It is not recommended that you set the IP Address to * (star), because this allows any Internet IP Address to access the Router, which could result in a loss of security for your network. If you elect to enable Remote Management, make sure to enter the IP Address of the remote computer allowed to configure the DI-774.

Port: For security purposes, select a separate port number used to access the Router. (The following is an example only; you may use a different port number.)

Example: http://x.x.x.x:8080 where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP Address of the Router and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface.
