Gigaset SX763 First Steps page 129

Remote Management enables a PC that is not in your local network to be used to con-
figure the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl via a standard Web browser. You can activate
Remote Management for one particular or for any PC.
For security reasons, this function is only available if you have previously changed the
system password for your device (see page 127).
You can start remote management by entering the public IP address in your Internet
browser. As Internet providers often change this each time you dial in, it is also worth
using dynamic DNS (see page 81).
ì
Click the option On, to activate Remote Management.
The field IP address shows the public IP address. The field Dynamic DNS displays
the Domain name of the DNS service, if you have activated this function (see
page 81).
ì
You can change the Port via which you can access the configuration program from
the Internet, for example in order to mask and protect the configuration program
against unauthorised access.
ì
Access: You can select Read only if you only wish to activate remote management
for reading or you can select Full control if you wish to activate it for reading and
writing.
ì
Allowed connections: You can specify one particular PC or specify a range of IP
addresses of clients for Remote Management or you can activate this function for
any PC.
Please remember:
If you permit several PCs then anyone who finds out your password can access this
user interface and therefore also your network! If it is needed, then you should
only activate this option for a short time.
– Select the required option from the list.
– For the option Only specified client, enter the IP address of the client, or the first
and last IP address in the range you want to permit.
Please remember:
The Internet provider may assign the IP address to the PC dynamically. This may
u
change the IP address. Make sure that the PC that is to access the router from
the Internet always has the same IP address.
For access to the configuration environment via Remote Management, you
u
must enter the address of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to be managed in the
browser using the following format: http://X.X.X.X:8080
(x.x.x.x represents the IP address of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl).
ì
If you have defined more than one Connection service (see page 64), choose from
the list the Connection service, for which you want configure Remote Manage-
ment.
ì
Click OK to accept the settings.
