Access the Web Interface
Open a web browser and enter the default gateway IP address of your Velop Pro 7, typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Log in using your administrator credentials.
Navigate to Management Settings
Once logged in, go to the Administration or Management section in the settings menu. The exact location may vary depending on firmware version.
Enable Remote Management
Find the option labeled Remote Management or Allow Remote Access. Toggle this option to On or Enable.
Configure Access Settings
Set the management port if necessary, and specify which IP addresses or networks are allowed to access the device remotely. For security, limit access to trusted IP addresses whenever possible.
