Link: Enable Remote Management
This link allows you to authorize a remotely-located person, such as a suppor t technician, to directly access
your Motorola Netopia® Gateway. This is useful for fixing configuration problems when you need exper t
help. You can limit the amount of time such a person will have access to your Gateway. This will prevent
unauthorized individuals from gaining access after the time limit has expired.
Click the Enable Rmt Mgmt link. The Enable Remote Management page appears.
Since you’ve already has entered an Admin password, you can use that Admin password or enter a new
password. If you enter a new password, it becomes the temporar y Admin password. After the time-out
period has expired, the Admin password rever ts to the original Admin password you entered.
Enter a temporar y password for the person you want to authorize, and confirm it by typing it again. You can
select a time-out period for this password, from 5 to 30 minutes, from the pull-down menu. Be sure to tell
the authorized person what the password is, and for how long the time-out is set. Click the
OK button.
