nected to the Internet. But if using a Dynamic IP Address, this value
can change each time you connect to your ISP. There are 2 solutions
to this problem:
Have your ISP allocate you a Fixed IP address.
Use the DDNS feature (Internet menu) so you can connect using
a Domain Name, rather than an IP address.
Port Number
Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535. The default for HTTP
connections is port 80, and for HTTPS port 443. Using either of these
is NOT recommended. The default value is 8080.
The port number must be specified in your Browser when you con-
nect, as explained above.
Allow Remote
Access
This allows you to restrict remote access by IP address. Select the
desired option.
Everyone - Remote user's IP address is not checked.
IP address range - Only IP addresses in the range specified will
be allowed. If selected, you must enter the Start and Finish IP
addressses.
Only this PC - Only the specified IP address is allowed. If
selected, you must enter an IP address in the field provided.
To connect from a remote PC via the Internet
1. Ensure your Internet connection is established, and start your Web Browser.
2. In the "Address" bar, enter "HTTPS://" followed by the Internet IP Address of VRT-311 /
VRT-311S. If the port number is not 80, the port number is also required. (After the IP
Address, enter ":" followed by the port number.)
e.g.
HTTPS://123.123.123.123:8080
This example assumes the WAN IP Address is 123.123.123.123, and the port number is 8080.
