Remote Management
To access the Gateway from the Internet, activate Remote Management by select-
ing the appropriate On radio button and writing down the WAN IP address of the
Gateway (see “WAN IP Address”). On a computer outside of the network, open a
Web browser and enter the Gateway’s WAN IP address in the address text box. The
Gateway’s Home screen (or a password prompt, if a password has been set) appears
in the browser window.
Telnet
To access the Gateway via Telnet, activate Telnet by selecting the appropriate “On”
radio button and writing down the WAN IP address of the Gateway (see “WAN IP
Address”). On a computer outside the network running a Telnet program, enter the
Gateway’s WAN IP address to access the Gateway.
Note: Before remote management or Telnet can be activated, the
administrator password must be set. To do this, go to the Home
screen, click Security, then select Admin User Name and
Password. Follow the instructions in the subsequent screens.
When finished in this screen, click Apply to activate any changes made.
Telnet Timeout Setting
Selecting Telnet Timeout Setting in the “Advanced Setup” screen generates the
“Telnet Timeout Setting” screen. Select a period of time from the choices available,
and the Telnet session will automatically terminate at that time. If no automatic
termination is needed, select “No idle disconnect timeout.”
When finished in this screen, click Apply to activate any changes made.
