Description
Web Management Port
Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port
80. This Router's default remote management web port number is 80.
For greater security, you can change the remote management web
port to a custom port by entering that number in the box provided.
Choose a number between 1 and 65534 but do not use the number of
any common service port.
Remote Management IP
Address
This is the current address you will use when accessing your Router
from the Internet. This function is disabled when the IP address is set
to the default value of 0.0.0.0. To enable this function change 0.0.0.0 to
a valid IP address. If set to 255.255.255.255, then all the hosts can
access the Router from internet.
Table 5-29
To access the Router, you should type your Router's WAN IP address into your browser's
address (in IE) or Location (in Navigator) box, followed by a colon and the custom port
number. For example, if your Router's WAN address is 210.66.155.14, and the port
number used is 8080, please enter http://210.66.155.14:8080 in your browser. Later, you
may be asked for the Router's password. After successfully entering the username and
password, you will be able to access the Router's web-based utility.
Be sure to change the Router's default password to a very secure password.
