Remote Administration

Enable Remote Enable to allow management via the Internet. If Disabled, this

Management device will ignore management connection attempts from the Internet.

Port Number Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (8080 is rec- ommended). This port number must be specified when you connect (see below).

Note: The default port number for HTTP (Web) connections is port 80, but using port 80 here will prevent the use of a Web "Virtual Server" on your LAN. (See Advanced Internet - Virtual Servers)

Current IP Ad- You must use this IP Address to connect (see below).

dressThis IP Address is allocated by your ISP. But if using a Dynamic IP Address, this value can change each time you connect to your ISP. So it is better if your ISP allocates you a Fixed IP Address.

To connect from a remote PC via the Internet

1.Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.

2.In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the Broadband Router. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)

e.g.

HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080

This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080.
