If Disabled, this device will ignore Administration connection
attempts from the Internet.

Current
IP Address

This is the current address you will use when accessing this
device from the Internet. To connect, see details and an ex-
ample below.

Port Number

Enter a port number between 1 and 65535. The default for
HTTP (Web) connections is port 80, but using port 80 will
prevent the use of a Web "Virtual Server" on your LAN. So
using a different port number is recommended. The default
value is 8080.

The port number must be specified in your Browser when you
connect. See the following section for details.

Access Permission

Allow Remote
Access

Select the desired option.
Everyone - allow access by everyone on the Internet.
Only This Computer - allow access by only one IP ad-

dress. Enter the desired IP address.

IP Address Range - allow access from a range of IP

addresses on the Internet. Enter a beginning and ending
IP address to define the allowed range.

For security, you should restrict access to as few external IP
addresses as practical.

To connect from a remote PC via the Internet
1. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.
2. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTP://" followed by the Internet IP Address of the Wireless Router. If the port number

is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)
e.g.

HTTP://123.123.123.123:8080

This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080.

3. You will then be prompted for the login name and password for this device.

7.8 Routing

Overview

• If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely.
• If the Wireless Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if

your LAN has other Routers.

• If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Wireless Router is to act as a Gateway for all

LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.

• If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN segments use each Gateway,

do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to
configure the other Routers.)

• If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the Wireless Router, and ensure

the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
• Open Routing and Remote Access
• In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access, [server name], IP Routing, RIP
• In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2, and then click "Proper-

ties".
