Management
Enable to allow management via the Internet. If Disabled, this
device will ignore management connection attempts from the
Internet.
Port Number
Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (8080 is rec-
ommended). This port number must be specified when you
connect (see below).
Note:
The default port number for HTTP (Web) connections is
port 80, but using port 80 here will prevent the use of a Web
"Virtual Server" on your LAN. (See
Advanced Internet - Virtual
Servers
)
Current IP Ad-
dress
You must use this IP Address to connect (see below).
This IP Address is allocated by your ISP. But if using a Dy-
namic IP Address, this value can change each time you
connect to your ISP. So it is better if your ISP allocates you a
Fixed IP Address.
To connect from a remote PC via the Internet
1. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.
2. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the
Broadband Router. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required.
(After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)
e.g.
HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080
This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number
is 8080.
