By default port 80 is used to configure the MultiCom Firewall. It is possible to change this to another port in 2 steps.
  1. Configure the MultiCom Firewall Input NAT (on the interface you want to access it.. WAN, LAN, DMZ) to redirect a different port number such as 1080 internally to port 80.
  2. In the first window of the Configurator append the new port number to the IP address of the Firewall. For example, if the user has used Network Address Translation to change the web access to the Firewall from 80 to 1080 they would reach it in the Configurator by typing 10.0.0.1:1080 (assuming 10.0.0.1 was an IP address of an Ethernet interface on their Firewall.)
NOTE - redirecting the port number on the WAN interface will allow access to this port even if the NAT firewall is activated. You may prefer to only configure from the LAN or DMZ interface.
