3. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.

4. Specify which external addresses will be allowed to access the modem’s remote management.

For security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical. Select one of these

options:

• Only This Computer. Allow access from a single IP address on the Internet. Enter the IP

address that will be allowed access.

• IP Address Range. Allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet.

Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.

• Everyone. Allow access from any IP address on the Internet.

5. Type the port number that will be used for accessing the management interface.

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 field 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.

6. Click Apply for your changes to take effect.

When accessing your modem from the Internet, you will type your modem’s WAN IP address

in your browser’s Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) field, followed by a colon (:) and

the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use

port number 8080, enter in your browser:

http://134.177.0.123:8080

Note: In this case, the http:// must be included in the address.
