Network Service List
For easier access to the Network Service List, the Dynamic DNS hostname can be used for access to the
AirStation. However, for this to occur the
‘Remote Management Port Number’
must be configured on
‘Page 43’
. By entering the value ‘80’ into the ‘Remote Management Port Number’ the Network Service List
can be accessed by typing: http://hostname.dyndns.org/hosts.htm -OR- http://hostname.tzo.com/hosts.com
depending on the service you’re subscribed with.
NOTE:
By allowing remote management over a port number you allow access into your AirStation from the Internet without a VPN connec-
tion. This is a potential security risk especially if you have not setup an administrator password on the AirStation. Even with a password
set, a user on the internet could log into your Network Service List and see all of the information regarding your network. Fortunately they
would NOT have access to remote control, file sharing, or Wake-On-LAN, but they will still be able to see what computers and devices are
on your network. For some this may be considered a security risk.
Personal Firewall Issues:
It is recommended to turn/off or disable any personal firewalls before trying to
utilize the features included in the Network Service List. Personal firewalls may cause unexpected behavior
depending on their configuration.
You can also log into your network service list
by just typing: http://hostname.dyndns.org -
OR- http://hostname.tzo.com depending on your
service. You will be prompted for your user name
and password. Once entered, you can click on the
large ‘Network Service List’ link. It is not recom-
mended that you give this username and password
out to guests; this method of connection should
only be utilized by yourself or the administrator of
the network.
