Remote Management Configuration
This chapter provides information on configuring remote management.
18.1 Remote Management Overview
Remote management allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which Prestige interface
(if any) from which computers.
When you configure remote management to allow management from the WAN, you
still need to configure a firewall rule to allow access. See the firewall chapters for
details on configuring firewall rules.
You may manage your Prestige from a remote location via:
Internet (WAN only) ALL (LAN and WAN)
LAN only, Neither (Disable).
When you Choose WAN only or ALL (LAN & WAN), you still need to configure a
firewall rule to allow access.
To disable remote management of a service, select Disable in the corresponding Server Access field.
18.1.1 Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:
1. A filter in SMT menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.5 (WAN) is applied to block a Telnet, FTP or Web
service.
2. You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
3. The IP address in the Secured Client IP field does not match the client IP address. If it does not
match, the Prestige will disconnect the session immediately.
4. There is an SMT console session running.
5. There is already another remote management session of the same type (web, FTP or Telnet)
running. You may only have one remote management session of the same type running at one time.
