Remote Management
Remote Management allows the DI-764 to be configured from the Internet by a web
browser. A username and password is still required to access the Web-Management
interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse the built-in web
pages to perform ²Administrator³ tasks. This feature enables you to perform
²Administrator³ tasks from the remote (Internet) host.
IP Address:
Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the Router. It is
not recommended that you set the IP address to * (star), because this allows any
Internet IP address to access the Router, which could result in a loss of security for
your network. If you elect to enable
Remote Management
, make sure to enter the
IP Address of the remote computer allowed to configure the DI-764.
Port:
For security purposes, select a separate port number used to access the
Router. (
The following is an example only; you may use a different port number.)
Example:
where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the
Router
and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface.
Default
