Important!
- By default configuration you can connect devices using LAN ports
- To access a device using WAN port you will need to enable Enable remote HTTP access. You will need to connect to routers WebUI and go to System -> Administration -> Access Control
Connect to device
- You can then find remote access links in the Device details page. You can find this page by clicking the "Device Information" icon located under the "Actions" column in the Device table, next to the relevant device.
- You will be redirected to the device's "Information overview" page. By default, the "Device access" widget will be in the top-left of that page. Locate the device that you wish to access and click the link next to it.
- Click on the custom name for the device you created in previous steps.
- A Device Web UI link pop-up window will open. Click the Generate new button.
- A new link will appear in the window. Click the link to connect to the device.
- For this example, I used another RUTxxx router that was connected to the RMS device's LAN. Therefore, when I click the link, I am redirected to RUTxxx login page.
If the connected device is not a RUTxxx router, you will probably be directed to that device's login page. Just enter the authentication information and login.
Remove device from access list
- You can later delete device access entries by once again selecting the device and clicking "Access" from the Actions menu.
- When the new pop-window opens click the Remove access item icon next to the entry that you would like to delete.
At the top of your screen, you will get a notification in green text: Remote access deleted.
