Parameter

Description

 

 

This is the IP address of the host in the Internet that will have management/configuration

 

 

access to the Broadband router from a remote site. This means if you are at home and

 

 

your home IP address has been designated the Remote Management host IP address

 

 

for this router (located in your company office), then you are able to configure this router

 

 

from your home. If the Host Address is left 0.0.0.0 this means anyone can access the

 

 

router’s web-based configuration from a remote location, providing they know the

 

 

password.
