Chapter 4 Configuring Advanced Settings

Website Blocking

Selecting Website Blocking in the “Advanced Settings” screen generates the
“Website Blocking” screen. This feature enables the Gateway to block Web sites to
all computers on the network. To block a Web site, enter the address of the Web
site in the “Website” text box and click Add. The blocked Web site address will be
displayed in the “Blocked Website List” text box, and will not be available to com-
puters on the network. To remove a blocked Web site, click on it in the “Blocked
Website List,” then click Remove.

Remote Management/Telnet

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

To access the Gateway from the Internet, activate Remote Management by selecting
On next to “Remote Management” 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 Main Menu (or a password prompt, if a password has been set) appears
in the browser window.
