If Disabled, this device will ignore Administration connection at- tempts from the Internet.

This is the current address you will use when accessing this device from the Internet. To connect, see details and an example below.

Enter a port number between 1 and 65535. The default for HTTP (Web) connections is port 80, but using port 80 will prevent the use of a Web "Virtual Server" on your LAN. So using a different port number is recommended. The default value is 8080.

The port number must be specified in your Browser when you connect. See the following section for details.
