Actiontec electronic GE344000-01 user manual VPN Pass Through, Remote Management

Chapter 4 Advanced Setup

VPN Pass Through

Selecting VPN Pass Through in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “VPN Pass Through” screen. To set up Virtual Private Networking (VPN) using IPSec/L2TP (which allows multiple, client-initiated VPN pass-through sessions), select On. Note that VPN via PPTP pass through is always active.

Remote Management

Selecting Remote Management in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “Remote Management” screen. Remote Management allows access to the Router through the Internet via another computer. Actiontec recommends leaving the Remote Management Off (the factory default setting).

To access the Router from the Internet, activate Remote Management by selecting On and writing down the WAN IP address of the Router (see “WAN IP Address”). On a computer outside of the network, open a Web browser and enter the Router’s WAN IP address in the address text box. The Router’s Main Menu (or a password prompt, if a password has been set) appears in the browser window.

☞Note: Before Remote Management can be activated, the admin- istrator password must be set. To do this, go to the Basic Setup screen and select Change Admin Password. Follow the instruc- tions in the subsequent screens
