2-4-3 Remote Management

This router does not allow management access from Internet, to prevent possible security risks (especially

when you defined a weak password, or didn't change default password). However, you can still management

this router from a specific IP address by enabling the 'Remote Management' Function.

To do so, please follow the following instructions:

Please click 'System' menu on the left of web management interface, then click 'Remote Management', and

the following message will be displayed on your web browser:

Here are descriptions of every setup items:

Host Address:

Input the IP address of the remote host you wish to initiate a management access.

Port:

You can define the port number this router should expect an incoming request. If you're providing a

web service (default port number is 80), you should try to use other port number. You can use the

default port setting '8080', or something like '32245' or '1429'. (Any integer between 1 and 65534)

When you finish with all settings, click 'Apply', and you'll see the following message displayed on web

browser:

Press 'Continue' to save the settings made and back to web management interface; press 'Apply' to save the

settings made and restart the router so the settings will take effect after it reboots.

NOTE: When you want to manage this router from another computer on internet, you have to input the IP address and port number

of this router. If your Internet service provider assigns you with a static IP address, it will not be a problem; but if the IP address your

service provider assigns to you will vary every time you establish an internet connection, this will be a problem.

Please either ask your service provider to give you a static IP address, or use dynamic IP to host name mapping services like DDNS.

Please refer to chapter --8 'DDNS client' for details.

NOTE: Default port number the web browser will use is '80'. If the 'Port' setting in this page is not '80', you have to assign the port

number in the address bar of web browser manually. For example, if the IP address of this router is 1.18.1.1, and the port number

you set is 8888, you have to input following address in the address bar of web browser:

http://1.18.1.1:8888
