Setting up Remote Management

Remote Management enables a PC that is not on your local network to be used to con-

figure the Gigaset SE361 WLAN with a standard Web browser. You can permit Remote

Management for one particular PC or for any PCs.

For security reasons this function is only available if you have previously changed the

system password for your device (see page 66).

ì

In the

Administration

menu, select

System Management

.

ì

Select the

On

option for

Remote Management

if you wish to allow Remote Man-

agement.

You can start remote administration by entering the public IP address in your Internet

browser. As many Internet providers change this address each time someone dials in, it

is also advisable to use dynamic DNS (see page 52).

ì

You can change the

Port

via which you access the configuration program from the

Internet, for example in order to hide and protect the configuration program against

unauthorised access.

ì

Allowed connections:

You can specify one particular PC or all PCs in a specific IP

address block for Remote Management, or permit this function for any PCs. Select

the required option from the list.

Note:

If you ever forget your System Password you will have to reset your Gigaset SE361

WLAN (see page 18). Please bear in mind that this will restore

all

the settings to the

factory configuration. No System Password will be active either.

Saving and restoring a configuration

Once you have configured your Gigaset SE361 WLAN, it is advisable to back up the set-

tings. Then you can restore them at any time, should they be accidentally deleted or

overwritten.

You can also reset the configuration to the factory settings. You should always do this

before passing your device on to others.

u

In the

Administration

menu, select

Save & Restore

.

Saving configuration data

ì

Activate the

Save configuration

option.

This opens a file selection window where you can specify the file you wish to store

in the backup file.

ì

On your local PC select a directory to which you wish to store the configuration file,

and enter a name for the file.

ì

Click on

Save

.

Once the procedure has been completed, the current configuration data will have been

saved to the specified file.

Note:

If you permit any PCs, then anyone who finds out your password can access this

user interface and therefore also your network! If this option is needed, you

should always only activate it for a short time.

Note:

u

The Internet provider might assign the IP address to the PC dynamically. This

can then change the IP address. Make sure that the PC that is to access the

router from the Internet always has the same IP address.

u

To access the configuration environment via Remote Management, you must

enter the

Public IP address

of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to be maintained in the

following format in the browser:

http://X.X.X.X:8080

(x.x.x.x stands for

the public IP address of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN).
