Chapter 13:
Remote Management
This chapter provides information on the Remote Management screens.
13.1 Remote Management Overview
Remote management allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which
WR1500 Wireless Router interface (if any) from which computers. You can customize the
service port, access interface and the secured client IP address to enhance security and
fl exibility.
When you confi gure remote management to allow management from the WAN, you
still need to confi gure a fi rewall rule to allow access. See the fi rewall chapters for
details on confi guring fi rewall rules.
You may manage your WR1500 Wireless Router from a remote location via:
• Internet (WAN only) • ALL (LAN and WAN)
• LAN only, • Neither (Disable).
When you Choose WAN only or ALL (LAN & WAN),
you still need to confi gure a fi rewall rule to allow access.
To disable remote management of a service, select Disable in the corresponding Server
Access fi eld.
13.1.1 Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:
1. A fi lter in SMT menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.5 (WAN) is applied to block a Telnet, FTP
or Web service.
2. You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
3. The IP address in the Secured Client IP fi eld does not match the client IP address. If it
does not match, the WR1500 Wireless Router will disconnect the session immediately.
4. There is an SMT console session running.
5. There is already another remote management session of the same type (web, FTP or Telnet)
running. You may only have one remote management session of the same type running at
one time.
6. There is a web remote management session running with a Telnet session. A Telnet session will
be disconnected if you begin a web session; it will not begin if there already is a web session.
