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 continuous remote access you need to configure it in a security profile.
