Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway
Advanced Configuration of the Gateway 6-11
Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security,
you can change the remote management web interface to a custom port by entering that
number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the
number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for
HTTP.

When accessing your gateway from the Internet, you will type your gateway's WAN IP
address in your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box, followed by a colon
(:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and
you use port number 8080, enter in your browser:
http://134.177.0.123:8080
Note: In this case, the http:// must be included in the address.
Static Routes
Static Routes provide additional routing information to your gateway. Under normal
circumstances, the gateway has adequate routing information after it has been configured for
Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure
static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your
network.
