Enable remote
Administration		 Check to allow adminstration/management via the Internet. (To connect, see below).
If Disabled, this device will ignore Administration connection attempts from the Internet.
Port Number Enter a port number between 1024 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. To specify the port number :

  1. From a remote location, start your Browser.
  2. In the "Address" or "Location" field, enter the Internet IP address of this device (NOT the LAN IP address), followed by the port number, as follows: 
     HTTPS://ip_address:port_number
    Where:
    ip_address   is the Internet IP address of this device.
    port_number   is the port number assigned on this screen.

  3. You should then be prompted for the password for this device. (You must assign a password!)
Current
IP Address		 To manage this device via the Internet, you need to know the IP Address of this device, as seen from the Internet. This IP Address is allocated by your ISP, and is shown here. But if using a Dynamic IP Address, this value can change each time you connect to your ISP. There are 2 solutions to this problem:
  • Have your ISP allocate you a Fixed IP address.
  • Use the DDNS feature (Advanced menu) so you can connect using a Domain Name, rather than an IP address.
