Special Configuration for a Web Server
or Telnet Server on Your LAN:

The Netopia router has an internal web server that allows you to browse into the router's configuration screens. There is also a built-in telnet server to allow you to telnet into the Command Line configuration menus.
If you are configuring a pinhole in the Netopia router to forward HTTP traffic to a web server on your network, you will need to modify the port assignment for this internal server. The same applies to telnet. These values should be logical and easily remembered.
  1. Browse into the Netopia gateway and enter your Admin Level Password.
    Admin level is required to save configuration changes.
  2. Click on Configure.
  3. Click on Advanced.

  4. Under the Miscellaneous heading, click on Internal Servers.
  5. Change the value for Web-HTTP Port from 80 to 8080, for example. This value should be logical and easily remembered.
  6. Click on the Submit button.
  7. Click on the in the upper right hand corner.
    This will validate that change.
  8. Click Save and Restart. This will restart the Netopia and retain the new setting(s).

After this change has taken effect, you would browse back into the router by using http://192.168.1.254:8080, assuming the ethernet IP address of the router is set to the factory default. If you have a different LAN addressing scheme, modify accordingly.
Similarly, if you have a server on the network that must be accessed from the Wide Area Network (WAN) via telnet, you would change the telnet port assignment for the router in this same screen. Change the Telnet Server Port value to 2323, for example. You would then access the router by going to telnet 192.168.1.254:2323.
