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 VRT-
401. 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.

Enable to allow administration via the Internet. If Disabled, this
device will ignore management connection attempts from the
Internet.
Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (8080 is rec-
ommended). This port number must be specified when you
connect (see below).
Note: The default port number for HTTP (Web) connections is
port 80, but using port 80 here will prevent the use of a Web
"Virtual Server" on your LAN. (See Advanced Internet - Virtual
Servers)
You must use this IP Address to connect (see below).
This IP Address is allocated by your ISP. But if using a Dy-
namic IP Address, this value can change each time you
connect to your ISP. So it is better if your ISP allocates you a
Fixed IP Address.
