Remote Manager Setup

IP Office has default settings for remote access. This section walks you through those settings and setup
for the remote dialup PC. Once connected, the remote PC is part of the IP Office network and can run
many of the IP Office applications.
Procedure - Step I
A remote user must exist on the Manager PC as an initial step to setting up remote access. A remote
user (Remote Manager) is available by default on Manager. This default user can be used for remote
access or another user created if necessary.
To make use of the Remote Manager user, do the following to change the user password.
1. Log onto Manager and open the IP Office configuration.
2. Click User from the Configuration Tree. A list of users are displayed.
3. Double-click the Remote Manager user (default user for dial-in access).
4. On the User tab:
• Extension: Leave blank
• Password/Confirm Password: A default password is displayed, for security purposes,
enter a new password. Make note of this password in a secure location as this is a remote
access link into the customer's network.
