Website Blocking

Selecting Website Blocking in the Advanced Settings screen generates the
Website Blocking screen. This feature enables the Modem to block Web sites to
all computers on the network. To block a Web site, enter the address of the Web
site in the “Website text box and click Add. The blocked Web site address will be
displayed in the “Blocked Website List text box, and will not be available to com-
puters on the network. To remove a blocked Web site, click on it in the “Blocked
Website List, then click Remove.

Remote Management/Telnet

Selecting Remote Management in the Advanced Settings screen generates the
Remote Management/Telnet screen. Remote Management allows access to the
Modem through the Internet via another computer. Actiontec recommends leaving
the Remote Management and Remote Telnet Off (the factory default setting).
To access the Modem from the Internet, activate Remote Management by selecting
On next to “Remote Management 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 Modems WAN IP address in the address text box. The
Modems Main Menu (or a password prompt, if a password has been set) appears
in the browser window.
