Enabling Remote Management AccessUsing the Remote Management page, you can allow an administrator on the Internet to configure,
upgrade, and check the status of your VPN firewall. You must be logged in locally to enable
remote management (see “Logging into the VPN Firewall Router” on page 2-2).
To configure your firewall for Remote Management:
1. Select Administration > Remote Management from the main menu The Remote
Management screen is displayed.
Note: If the administrator login timeout value is too large, you may have to wait a
long time before you are able to log back into the VPN firewall if your
previous login was disrupted (for example, if you did not click Logout on the
Main Menu bar to log out).
Note: After a factory default reset, the password and timeout value will be changed
back to password and 5 minutes, respectively.
Note: Be sure to change the default configuration password of the firewall to a very
secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers,
and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. See “Changing Passwords
and Administrator Settings” on page 8-8 for the procedure on how to do this.
