Specifications
Require HTTPS Connection
– Check this box if you want to encrypt all router administration communication.
Secure HTTPS Port – Enter the port number you want to use. The default is 443.
Enable SSH Server – When the router's SSH server is enabled you may access the router's command line interface (CLI) using the standards-based SSH
protocol. Use the username "admin" and the standard system password to log in.
SSH Server Port – Default: 22.
Remote Management
Remote Management allows a user to enable incoming WAN pings or change settings for the router from the Internet using the router's Internet address.
Allow WAN pings – When enabled the functionality allows an external WAN client to ping the router.
Allow Remote Web Administration – When remote administration is enabled it allows access to these administration web pages from the Internet. With it disabled, you
must be a client on the local network to access the administration website. For security, remote access is usually done via a non-standard http port. Additionally, encrypted
connections can be required for an added level of security.
Require HTTPS Connection – Requiring a secure (https) connection is recommended.
HTTP Port: Default – 8080. This option is disabled if you select “Require Secure Connection”.
Secure HTTPS Port – Default: 8443.
NOTE: You can restrict remote access to only specified IP addresses in Network Settings → Firewall under Remote Administration
Access Control.
Allow Remote SSH Access – This will enable SSH access to the router from the Internet. It is only available when SSH access is enabled in the Local Management tab.
Some carriers block the remote SSH access ports. If a ping to the router's WAN port does not work, it is unlikely that remote SSH access will work.
GPS
If you have an attached device with GPS support (SIM-based models with GPS support require that the SIM is inserted), you can enable a graphical view of your router’s
location which will appear in Status → GPS.
Users can configure GPS NMEA GGA format sentence reporting, available through a router-based server and/or a remote server.
NOTE: Some carriers disable GPS support in otherwise supported modems. If you encounter issues with obtaining a fix, contact your
carrier and ensure that GPS is supported.
