Remote Administration Overview

Remote administration allows you to access the NF17ACV web User Interface from a remote computer connected to the
internet.

This can also be used to enable your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to check your settings if you experience connection
issues.

Before enabling remote access to your NF17ACV, we recommend changing the username and password required to login.
Please refer to the Change Administration Password Guide document for assistance with this. You can also limit access to a
specific IP or subnet. This will prevent unauthorized access to your NF17ACV.

Enabling Remote Administration

1 Open a web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Firefox), type http://192.168.20.1 into the address

bar and press Enter.

2 At the login screen, type admin into both the User Name and the Password fields and click OK or Log In.

3 From the Management menu on the left, then select Access Control and then Services Control from the sub menu.

best practices. Please be informed that changing the port number will apply in both the LAN and WAN sides.

7 Click the Apply/Save button.
