4.10.5 Remote management

Go to Security > Remote Management in order to configure the Remote Management function
on this screen, as shown in Figure 4-42. This feature allows you to manage your Router from a
remote location via the Internet.
Web Management Port – The web browser normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80
•
for access.. This Router's default remote management web port number is 80. For greater
security, you can change the remote management web port to a custom port by entering that
number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1 and 65534 but do not use the number
of any common service port.
Remote Management IP Address - This is the current address you will use when accessing
•
your Router from the Internet. This function is disabled when the IP address is set to the
default value of 0.0.0.0. To enable this function, change 0.0.0.0 to a valid IP address. If set to
255.255.255.255, then all the hosts will be able to access the Router from the internet.
Note:
1. To access the Router, you should type your Router's WAN IP address into your browser's
address (in IE) or Location (in Navigator) box, followed by a colon and the custom port
number. For example, if your Router's WAN address is 202.96.12.8, and the port number
used is 8080, please enter http://202.96.12.8:8080 in your browser. Later, you may be
asked for the Router's password. After successfully entering the username and password,
you will be able to access the Router's web-based utility.
2. Be sure to change the Router's default password to a more secure password.
