Proxy Server Settings

If you have a proxy server enabled on your PC this will restrict access to the web page interface. You
may need to add the ES device to the Proxy Server's exceptions list. If you need help doing this
contact your network administrator.

Remote Access

The Remote access feature of the ES devices allows access to the device over the internet or through
one or more routers. The device can be accessed remotely through either the webpage interface, or
through Boost.LAN Manager. To access the ES device remotely, you will need the IP address of the
router and have port forwarding set up on your router for the device and the ports on your device. If
you need assistance setting up port forwarding on your network, contact your network administrator.
Once you have the IP address and port forwarding numbers of the device and ports, you can either
access the device through the webpage or through Boost.LAN.
Remote Access Using Web Browser
To access the ES device through the webpage you will need the IP address of your router and the ES
device's port forwarding number. Type this address into the navigation bar with a colon then the port
forwarding number. For example
