device will ignore management connection attempts from the Inter-

 

net.

 

 

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

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

IP Address

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 TW100- BRV204. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Ad- dress, 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.
