Chapter 5 Configuring the Router’s Security

Telnet

Telnet is used to create a command-line session and gain access to all system set- tings and parameters using a text-based terminal. Select the Telnet port to be used by clicking in the appropriate check box, then click Apply.

MegaControl Panel

MegaControl Panel is used to obtain access to the Router’s MegaControl Panel and gain access to all settings and parameters,using a web browser. Both secure (HTTPS) and non-secure (HTTP) access is available. Select the port to be used by clicking in the appropriate text box, then click Apply.

☞Note: Telnet and MegaControl Panel remote administration access may be used to modify or disable firewall settings. Local IP addresses and other settings can also be changed, making it difficult or impossible to access the Router from the local network. Therefore, remote adminstration access to Telnet or MegaControl Panel services should be activated only when absolutely necessary.

Diagnostic Tools

Diagnostic Tools are used for troubleshooting and remote system management by a user or the ISP.

☞Note: Encrypted remote administration is performed using a secure SSL connection, and requires an SSL certificate. When accessing the Router for the first time using encrypted remote administration, a warning appears regarding certificate authenti- cation because the Router’s SSL certificate is self-generated. When encountering this message under these circumstances, ignore it and continue. Even though this message appears, the self-gener- ated certificate is safe, and provides a secure SSL connection.
