Figure 4-46 Remote Management

Web Management Port - Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service 
port 80. This Router's default remote management web port number is 80. For greater 
security, you can change the remote management web port to a custom port by entering that 
number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1 and 65534 but do not use the 
number of any common service port.

Remote Management IP Address - This is the current address you will use when accessing 
your Router from the Internet. This function is disabled when the IP address is set to the 
default value of 0.0.0.0. To enable this function change 0.0.0.0 to a valid IP address. If set to 
255.255.255.255, then all the hosts can access the Router from internet.   

)

1.  To access the Router, you should type your Router's WAN IP address into your browser's 

address (in IE) or Location (in Navigator) box, followed by a colon and the custom port 

number. For example, if your Router's WAN address is 202.96.12.8, and the port number 

used is 8080, please enter http://202.96.12.8:8080 in your browser. Later, you may be asked 

for the Router's password. After successfully entering the username and password, you will 

be able to access the Router's web-based utility. 

2.  Be sure to change the Router's default password to a very secure password. 

Using Advanced Security page, you can protect the router from being attacked by TCP-SYN 

Flood, UDP Flood and ICMP-Flood from LAN.
