Connecting using portforwarding
The WebLinkBox behaves like a web server. When you have a permanent high speed
Internet connection this server can be made accessible via the IP-address you
received from you local Internet Service Provider. The used technique is called
portforwarding. The settings for portforwarding must be made in the router and/or DSL
modem which are used in your local network. Check the manual of your router how to
set up portforwarding or contact your local IT provider.

Ports and protocols available for portforwarding in the WebLinkBox.
This setup is much less secure than using a VPN solution. Always change the default
passwords to avoid unwanted access.
The port for webpages can be changed in the WebLinkBox. Login as installer and go to
the
System configuration
page. Add /showport to the URL in the address bar of your
browser and press
Enter
. An extra edit value for the port setting will occur. If the port
number is not default the edit value will always be visible at the
System configuration
page. Port numbers are valid between 1024 and 65535.
