Link: Remote Access
The Remote Access page lets you grant access to your NVG595 Gateway to other users on the WAN. This func-
tion can be used for advanced troubleshooting or remote configuration.
If Remote access is not currently enabled, the Remote Access page will let you configure and enable it. If
remote access has been enabled, the Remote Access Page will indicate that, and provides a button to disable
it.
To enable Remote Access:
1. Enter a password. This password must be at least 8 characters long, and must include at least two of the fol-
lowing types of characters:
alphabetic (letter) characters,
numeric (number) characters,
special characters (! @ # $ % ^ & * , etc)
2. If necessary, set a custom port number for secure HTTP access to the NVG595 remote access session in the
Port Value
field.
3. Click the
Access Type
radio button to select the desired level of access:
Read only access - to allow the remote access session to view, but not change, the configuration and col-
lected statistics of the gateway.
Update access - to allow the session to make changes to the gateway’s configuration.
4. Click
Enable Remote Access Enable Remote Access Enable Remote Access Enable Remote Access
.
The NVG595 updates the Remote Access page and displays the current remote access settings, shows the URL
that a remote access client must use to connect to the remote access session, and provides a button for ending
the remote access session. The remote access client will need to connect to the URL shown on the Remote
Access page, and will need to log in with the username “tech” and the password configured when access was
enabled.
WARNING
Enabling remote access allows anyone who knows or can determine the password, port ID, and URL
(address) of your NVG595 Gateway to view any configuration settings or change the operation of your gate-
way.
