CRADLEPOINT MBR1400 | USER MANUAL – Firmware version 4.2

8.1.4 Remote Management

Allows a user to enable incoming WAN pings or to 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 the

SSH access is enabled in the Local Management tab.
