ip_address is the Internet IP address of this device.

port_number is the port number assigned on this screen.

You should then be prompted for the password for this device.

(You must assign a password!)

Current IP

Address

To manage this device via the Internet, you need to know the

IP Address of this device, as seen from the Internet. This IP

Address is allocated by your ISP, and is shown here. But if

using a Dynamic IP Address, this value can change each time

you connect to your ISP. There are 2 solutions to this problem:

Have your ISP allocate you a Fixed IP address.

Use the DDNS feature (Advanced menu) so you can

connect using a Domain Name, rather than an IP address.

To connect from a remote PC via the Internet

Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.

In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the XRT-501. If

the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter

":" followed by the port number.)

e.g.

http://test.dyndns.org:8080

This example assumes the WAN IP Address is PPPoE, and the port number is 8080.
