Port Number
Enter a port number between 1024 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. To specify the port number :
1. From a remote location, start your Browser.
2. In the "Address" or "Location" field, enter the Internet IP
Where:
ip_address is the Internet IP address of this device.
port_number is the port number assigned on this screen.
3. You should then be prompted for the password for this device.
Current IP
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
Address
allocated by your ISP, and is shown here. 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:
•
•
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 Broadband 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.

address of this device (NOT the LAN IP address), followed by
the port number, as follows:
http://ip_address:port_number
(You must assign a password!)
Have your ISP allocate you a Fixed IP address.
Use the DDNS feature (Advanced menu) so you can connect
using a Domain Name, rather than an IP address.
