Access Control
The iConnectAccess624W’s Access Control management feature opens access from the
Internet (WAN) or (LAN) to the router’s management ports (Web, Telnet, SSH, FTP,
TFTP, SNMP). Note that there are security risks associated with this action, and for this
reason, remote management is restricted to computers on the network that are specified
in the IP Access Control List. (This holds up to 16 IP Addresses.)
The Access Control List (ACL) provides a global enable / disable. If the ACL is disabled,
the default behaviour (ie, Deny for WAN, and Accept for LAN, is enabled for all IP
addresses) is enforced. If no IP Addresses are specified in the ACL, the ACL will act as if
it is disabled until the first IP Address is added.
NOTE:
You must ensure that you add your own IP Address to the IP Access List,
otherwise you could lock yourself out of the router. Should this occur and
the setting is saved, you will need to perform a factory default reset, using
the reset button.
