Select WAN1, WAN2 or LAN to allow administration/management

 

via the Internet. (To connect, see above).

 

If Disabled, this device will ignore management connection attempts

 

from the Internet.

 

 

IP Address

To manage this device via the Internet, you need to know the IP

 

Address of this device, as seen from the Internet. This IP Address is

 

allocated by your ISP, and is shown here if you are currently con-

 

nected to the Internet. But if using a Dynamic IP Address, this value

 

can change each time you connect to your ISP. There are 2 solutions

 

to this problem:

 

Have your ISP allocate you a Fixed IP address.

 

Use the DDNS feature (Internet menu) so you can connect using

 

a Domain Name, rather than an IP address.

 

 

Internal Port

Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535. The default for HTTP

Number

connections is port 80, and for HTTPS port 443. Using either of

 

these is NOT recommended.

 

The port number must be specified in your Browser when you

 

connect, as explained above.
