Note: The password and time-out value you enter will be changed back to password and 5 minutes, respectively, after a factory defaults reset.

Enabling Remote Management Access

Using the Remote Management page, 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 in to the VPN Firewall” on page 2-1).

Note: Be sure to change the firewall default configuration password 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 6-7for the procedure on how to do this.
