Field Name

Description

Remote Config

Checking this box enables Remote Configuration

Management

Management that allows the user or network operator to

 

view and/or modify the gateway set-up parameters from

 

a location on the WAN, as opposed to the LAN side of

 

the gateway. Access to the set-up parameters is obtained

 

by using the password to access the WebWizard.

 

Enable this feature by checking the Remote Config

 

Management box on the Setup Advanced Settings -

 

Options page. To access your gateway from a remote

 

location, you must also know the WAN IP address of the

 

gateway. To find the WAN IP address, go to the Network

 

Configuration page under Basic Settings. You will find

 

the gateway's WAN IP address list on this page.

 

Enter the WAN IP address of your gateway into the

 

address field of any web browser using the following

 

format: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 where

 

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the WAN IP address of your

 

gateway.

 

Be sure to follow the syntax exactly, and then click Go or

 

press Enter. Your gateway webpages will appear on the

 

remote computer. You will still need to enter your

 

password to access the Setup pages of your gateway

 

Note: If you choose to enable (check) this feature, be sure

 

to set up a user password to prevent unauthorized access

 

to your gateway settings.

WAN side through to the private network
