Enabling Remote Management

Using the Remote Management page, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,
upgrade and check the status of your FR328S ProSafe Firewall with Dial Back-Up.
Note: Be sure to change the router's default password to a very secure password. The
ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a
