Administration

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

figure the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl via a standard Web browser. You can activate

Remote Management for one particular or for any PC.

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

system password for your device (see page 127).

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

browser. As Internet providers often change this each time you dial in, it is also worth

using dynamic DNS (see page 81).

ì

Click the option

On

, to activate

Remote Management

.

The field

IP address

shows the public IP address. The field

Dynamic DNS

displays

the

Domain name

of the DNS service, if you have activated this function (see

page 81).

ì

You can change the

Port

via which you can access the configuration program from

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

against unauthorised access.

ì

Access

Read only

if you only wish to activate remote management

for reading or you can select

Full control

if you wish to activate it for reading and

writing.

ì

Allowed connections:

You can specify one particular PC or specify a range of IP

addresses of clients for Remote Management or you can activate this function for

any PC.

–

Select the required option from the list.

–

For the option

Only specified client

, enter the IP address of the client, or the first

and last IP address in the range you want to permit.

ì

If you have defined more than one

Connection service

(see page 64), choose from

the list the

Connection service

, for which you want configure

Remote Manage-

ment

.

ì

Click

OK

to accept the settings.

Please remember:

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

user interface and therefore also your network! If it is needed, then you should

only activate this option for a short time.

Please remember:

u

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

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

For access to the configuration environment via Remote Management, you

must enter the address of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to be managed in the

browser using the following format:

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

(x.x.x.x represents the IP address of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl).
