Enabling Remote Management Access
Using the Remote Management screen, you can allow an administrator on the Internet to
configure, upgrade, and check the status of your VPN firewall. You must be logged in locally to
enable remote management (see “Logging into the VPN Firewall” on page 2-2).
To configure the VPN firewall for remote management:
1. Select Administration from the main menu and Remote Management from the submenu.
The Remote Management screen displays.
Note: Be sure to change the default configuration password of the VPN firewall to a very
secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers,
and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. See “Changing Passwords
and Settings” on page 6-8 for the procedure on how to do this.
