Remote Management/Telnet
Selecting Remote Management in the “Advanced Settings” screen generates the
“Remote Management/Telnet” screen. Remote Management allows access to the
Modem through the Internet via another computer. Actiontec recommends leaving
the Remote Management and Remote Telnet Off (the factory default setting).
To access the Modem from the Internet, activate Remote Management by selecting
On next to “Remote Management” and writing down the WAN IP address of the
Modem (see “WAN IP Address”). On a computer outside of the network, open a
Web browser and enter the Modem’s WAN IP address in the address text box. The
Modem’s Main Menu (or a password prompt, if a password has been set) appears
in the browser window.

istrator password must be set. To do this, go to the Setup screen
and select Change Admin Password. Follow the instructions in
the subsequent screens
