Port Number | Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (8080 is recom- |
| mended). 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). |
dress | This 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 DSL/Cable 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.
