from the Internet. To connect, see details and an example below.
Port Number
Enter a port number between 1 and 65535. The default for HTTP
(Web) connections is port 80, but using port 80 will prevent the use
of a Web "Virtual Server" on your LAN. So using a different port
number is recommended. The default value is 8080.
The port number must be specified in your Browser when you
connect. See the following section for details.
