Actiontec USB/Ethernet DSL Modem 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 Modem through the Internet via another computer. Actiontec recommends leaving the Remote Management Off (the factory default setting).

To access the Modem from the Internet, activate Remote Management by selecting On and writing down the WAN IP address of the Modem (see “WAN IP Address”). On a computer outside of the network, open a Web browser and enter the Modem’s WAN IP address in the address text box. The Modem’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 Setup screen and select Change Admin Password. Follow the instructions in the subsequent screens (see page 32 for more details).

Port Forwarding

Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen generates the “Port Forwarding” screen. Port forwarding allows certain programs to bypass the Modem’s built-in firewall, allowing access to parts of the network (for hosting a Web or FTP server, for example). To use port forwarding, enter the IP port range in the “IP Port Range” text boxes. (If more than 500 ports are needed, Actiontec recommends using DMZ Hosting. See “DMZ Hosting” on page 46 for more information.) Choose the protocol type from the “Protocol” list box, then enter the IP address of the computer on the network to be used as a host. Click Add. The forwarded ports appear in the “List of Forwarded Ports” text box.
