Option Description

Remote Management

Remote Management You can remotely manage the Gateway using HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH, SNMP, and

HNAP. Each method has Enabled and Disabled buttons for enabling or disabling that remote

management method. If you enable a remote management method, specify the port number

to be used with that method in the field to the left of Enabled.

Note: The Gateway’s remote management address appears below HNAP.

Remote Access Allowed From

Remote Access Allowed From Lets you provide remote access to Gateway for one computer, all computers on the Internet,

or computers that fall within a specified range of IP addresses. Choices are:

• Single Computer = to allow a single computer to remotely manage the Gateway, check this

option and enter the IP address of the computer next to IP Address.

• Range of IPs = to allow a group of computers to remotely manage the Gateway, check this

option. Then enter the starting range of IP addresses next to Start IP Address boxes and

the ending range of IP addresses next to End IP Address.

• Any Computer = allows any computer on the Internet to access your network. This setting

can cause a security risk.

Configuring DMZ Settings

If you have a local client computer that cannot run an Internet application properly behind

the NAT firewall, you can configure it for unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining it

as a Virtual DMZ host.

A DMZ allows a single computer on your LAN to expose all of its ports to the Internet. When

doing this, the exposed computer is no longer “behind” the firewall. Therefore, placing a

computer in the DMZ should be considered temporary because your firewall is no longer

able to provide any security to it..

You configure the Gateway’s DMZ settings using the DMZ menu. To display this menu, click

Advanced > DMZ in the menu bar. Figure 97 shows an example of this menu and Table 49

describes the settings.
