3. Enter the following information:
• Remote Password. Enter the user name that will be used from the remote PC to manage
the gateway. This password is different from the password that you use to log into the
gateway from your LAN.
• Port Number. Specify the port number that will be used for accessing the management
interface. The default port number is 80.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Reverting to Factory Default Setting
If you would like to erase settings but continue to allow access from the WAN after the settings
have been erased, select the Allow Remote Management after Factory Default Reset check box
under “Revert to factory default settings” in the Remote Management screen. Then, click Erase.
Note: Be sure to change the gateway’s remote management password to a very
secure password before enabling remote management. 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 16 characters.
Note: 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.
Note: Do not attempt to go online, turn off the gateway, shut down the computer,
or do anything else to the gateway until the gateway finishes restarting.
When the test light turns off, wait a few more seconds before you do
anything with the gateway.
After you have erased the gateway’s current settings, the gateway’s
password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.1, the
gateway will function as a DHCP server on the LAN, and the gateway will
function as a DHCP client to the Internet.
