5.7 Remote Management/Telnet
Selecting Remote Management in the “Advanced Setup” screen generates
the “Remote Management/Telent” screen. Remote management allows access
to the Gateway through the Internet via another computer, while Telnet
allows access to the Gateway using a computer running a Telnet program.
we recommend leaving the Remote Management and Telnet Off (the factory
default setting). The Gateway will be vulnerable to other users on the Internet if
Remote Management or Telnet is activated.
5.7a Remote Management
To access the Gateway from the Internet, activate Remote Management 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 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.
