Administration and status information

You can start remote management by entering the public IP address in your Internet browser. As Internet providers often change this each time you dial in, it is worth using dynamic DNS (see page 66) in addition.

ìYou can change the Port via which you can access the configuration program from the Internet, for example in order to hide and protect the configuration program against unauthorised access.

ìAllowed connections: You can specify one particular PC for Remote Management or permit this function for any PCs. Select the required option from the list.

Please remember:

If you permit several PCs then anyone who finds out your password can access this user interface and therefore also your network! If it is needed, then you should only activate this option for a short time.

Remote Management for one particular PC:

ìIn the Authorized client field, enter the IP address of the PC that is to have access to the user interface of the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable from outside your local network.

Please remember:

uThe Internet provider might assign the IP address to the PC dynamically. This can then change the IP address. Make sure that the PC that is to access the router from the Internet always has the same IP address.

uFor access to the configuration environment via Remote Management, you must enter in the browser the address of the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable to be managed using the following format: http://X.X.X.X:8080 (x.x.x.x stands for the IP address of the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable).
