Enabling Remote Management Access

Using the Remote Management screen, you can allow an administrator on the Internet to configure, upgrade, and check the status of your VPN firewall. You must be logged in locally to enable remote management (see “Logging into the VPN Firewall” on page 2-2).

Note: Be sure to change the default configuration password of the VPN firewall to a very secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. See “Changing Passwords and Settings” on page 6-8for the procedure on how to do this.

To configure the VPN firewall for remote management:

1.Select Administration from the main menu and Remote Management from the submenu. The Remote Management screen displays.
