D-Link DIR-455 manual Administrator, Remote Management

Section 3 - Configuration

Admin

The Admin page allows you to change the Administrator password and enable Remote Management. Admin has read/write access while the user has read-only access. Only the admin has the ability to change both admin and user account passwords.

ADMINISTRATOR

Admin Password: Enter and confirm the password that the admin account will use to access the router’s management interface.

REMOTE MANAGEMENT

Remote Management: Remote management allows the DIR- 455 to be configured from the Internet using a web browser. A username and password is still required to access the Web-Management interface. Usually only a member of your network can browse the built-in web pages to perform Administrator tasks. This feature enables you to perform Administrator tasks from the remote (Internet) host.

IP Allowed to Access: Enter the Internet IP address of the PC that has access to the Broadband Router. If you enter an asterisk (*) in this field, then anyone will be able to access the Router. Adding an asterisk (*) into this field could present a security risk and is not recommended.

Port: This is the port number used to access the router. Example: 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface.
