NOTE:
If you are using a Dynamic IP address, your WAN IP Address may change from time to time
without warning, depending on your ISP. You may want to obtain a Static IP address from
your ISP, which will be more convenient to use to access the panel from a remote location.
A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change. Alternatively, if a Static IP
address is not available, you can use a Dynamic DNS service such as
Dyn
(see
www.dyn.com
).

3. To configure HTTPS forwarding, repeat steps 2a – 2e with the HTTPS port number that the panel
is using. If you are using the default panel port settings, the HTTPS port number is 443.
4. To set up your router to allow remote panel firmware upgrades, repeat steps 2a – 2e with the
UDP port number that the panel is using. If you are using the default panel port settings, the UDP
port number is 9393. Firmware upgrades can still be applied locally if this step is skipped.
5. Before you can access the panel over the Internet, you will need to know the WAN IP address of
the router, which is assigned by your ISP. With the Linksys WRT54G router, this information is
available in the Status tab, listed as IP Address (see Figure 9).
