Host Address

Input the IP address of the remote host you wish to initiate a

 

management access. “0.0.0.0” means any remote IP address. If you

 

specify an IP address here, then the router will only allow remote access

 

from this specific IP address.

request. If you’re providing a web service (default port number is 80), you

 

should try to use other port number. You can use the default port setting
