Changing the Remote
Administration
Password
By default, the Dual 56K LAN Modem’s default Remote Administration Username
is Admin, and the Password is 1234. For security purposes, it is recommended
that you change the default password. To do so, follow these steps:
1 From the Dual 56K LAN Modem Main Configuration Page, click the Dial-in
button.
2 Click the Dial-in User button.
The Dial-in User Selection window opens.
3 Select Admin, and then click Next.
4 In the Username field, delete the default name, and enter a unique Username.
5 In the Password field, delete the default password and enter a new Password.
Record this information for use by an authorized remote user or users only.
6 Click Submit.
Configuring the LAN
Modem Remotely via
Another LAN Modem
To dial in to the Dual 56K LAN Modem to make remote configuration changes
using another LAN Modem, follow these steps:
Auto Answer must be enabled to allow dial-in access to the LAN Modem. By
default, Auto Answer is disabled; in this case, all incoming calls will be routed to
any analog equipment connected to one of the PHONE ports. Refer to
“Configuring Dial-in User Parameters” in Chapter8, “Configuring the Dual 56K
LAN Modem for Dial-in Support” for more information.
1 Ensure that the two LAN Modems are on different subnetworks.
For instance, one LAN Modem can be on the 192.168.1.x subnetwork, and the
other one can be on the 192.168.2.x subnetwork.
2 In the local LAN Modem (from which you are accessing the remote Dual 56K LAN
Modem), create a Private Network Service Provider profile for the remote Dual 56K
LAN Modem.
3 Under Security, enter the Remote Administration Username and Password
assigned to the remote LAN Modem.
4 Under Miscellaneous, leave the WAN Link IP Address field blank.
5 Enter the IP address of the remote LAN Modem in your Web browser’s URL field.
A connection is established.
6 Enter your password, if applicable.
The LAN Modem Main Configuration Page of the remote Dual 56K LAN Modem
appears. You now have full access and can make any configuration changes as if
you were connected via the local LAN.
You are not able to browse the Internet while remotely accessing your LAN
Modem. During a remote configuration of the ISP Wizard, clicking the Continue
button will not place a call to your ISP to confirm a successful configuration.
