Remote Administration
In its default state, GlobeSurfer 3G blocks all external users from connecting
to or communicating with your network. Therefore the system is safe from
hackers who may try to intrude on the network and damage it. However,
you may wish to enable certain services that grant remote users administrative
privileges in your network. For example, you may allow yourself to view or
change settings while travelling. It may also be necessary to allow your ISP
to change settings or help you troubleshoot functionality or communication
issues from a remote location.
Remote access is supported by the following services, and you may use the
Re-
mote administration
screen to selectively enable these services if they are needed.

Allow incoming access to the Telnet server
Used to allow command-
line access to all system settings and parameters (using a telnet

sidered a secure protocol. If a local server is configured to use
port 23 select port 8023 to avoid conflicts.
