====== Remote Configuration ======

You can open up your Internet Gate for remote configuration. This is useful if you run in to a problem and need support. Support personnel may then surf to your Internet Gate and view or change the settings.

To open your Internet Gate for remote configuration:
  - hold ALT button on front panel pressed until CFG is shown on the display
  - the display will then show four numbers; this is the unit's global IP address
  - support personnel can now browse to port 66 of that IP address to connect to your unit

There is a timeout for remote configuration. After a minute without any web page access the remote configuration channel is closed and display returns to normal. Then remote access is no longer possible.

:!: During remote configuration anyone on the Internet and your LAN can access your unit without any password!

To enable [[WAN config|continuous remote access]] you need to configure it in a [[security profile]].
