Enabling remote management
Remote management means you can
access and manage BoB2
from a
TM
computer that is in a remote location, for
example - your office.
To do this:
1.
Click on Advanced settings, which you'll
find in the menu list across the top of
the page.
2.
Then click on Modem password and remote management which is in the left menu bar.
3.
Enable remote management by ticking the box next to point number 4 – (image 3 above).
4.
At the bottom of the screen you'll see an IP address. This is the unique address for your BoB2
when logging in remotely to the modem.
5.
When attempting to login from a remote computer, open a web page and type in your IP address (ie http://xxx.
xxx.xxx.xx:2420).
6.
If you're unable to access BoB2
from the remote computer, check the firewall settings on the computer in the
TM
remote location as this may be preventing you from gaining access to your modem.
