REMOTE ADMINISTRATION
Caution:
Enabling Remote Administration places your Gateway network at
risk from outside attacks.
You can access and control your Gateway not only from within
the local network, but also from the Internet using Remote
Administration.
You can allow incoming access to the following:
•
Web Management - used to obtain access to your Gateway's
GUI and gain access to all settings and parameters through a
web browser.
•
Diagnostic Tools - used for troubleshooting and remote system
management by a user or Verizon.
Web Management remote administration access may be used to
modify or disable firewall settings. Local IP addresses and other
settings can also be changed, making it difficult or impossible to
access your Gateway from the local network. Remote administration
access to SSH or Web Management services should be activated
only when absolutely necessary.
Note:
Encrypted remote administration is performed using a secure SSL
connection and requires a SSL certificate. When accessing your Gateway
for the first time using encrypted remote administration, a warning page
opens with a certificate authentication message displayed. This is due to
your Gateway SSL certificate being self-generated. When this message
display under that circumstance, ignore the message and continue. Even
though this message displays, the self-generated certificate is safe and
provides a secure SSL connection.
