Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

Remote Management

Selecting Remote Management in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen
generates the “Remote Management” screen. Remote Management allows access
to the Gateway through the Internet via another computer. Actiontec recommends
leaving the Remote Management Off (the factory default setting).

To access the Gateway from the Internet, activate Remote Management by
selecting On 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. A username and password

prompt appears in the browser window. Enter your username and password to
access the Gateway.

Note: Before Remote Management can be activated, the admin-

istrator password must be set. To do this, go to the Setup screen
and select Change Admin Password. Follow the instructions in
the subsequent screens.
