Hi lads,

I want to control my ONU remotely but my EG8141A5 has not WAN access control menu.

 ![WAN Access control](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/genieacs/original/2X/7/76186f2a5c45f0b54bcca5d8aa58da9c10abff1e.png)

Any help is highly appreciated.

Cheers,

not 100% sure about this but you might be using a wrong user. We are using 8145A5 and default admin user is adminep or epadmin. You should be able to see another option with a similar name: Precise Device Access Control (that’s what the menu says anyway). In our case we only allow access by VLAN.

Hi Rudy,

see if you can get these paths

```auto
    declare( "InternetGatewayDevice.X_HW_Security.AclServices.AccessControl.AccessControlListEnable", {
        value: Date.now( )
    }, {
        value: true
    } );
    declare( "InternetGatewayDevice.X_HW_Security.AclServices.AccessControl.List.*", null, {
        path: 0
    } );

```

in our case WANIPConnection.1 refers to our VLAN:

```auto
    cadena = "InternetGatewayDevice.X_HW_Security.AclServices.AccessControl.List.[";
    cadena += "Mode:0,";
    cadena += "Priority:1,";
    cadena += "ServicePort:\"TELNET,HTTP,SSH,FTP,ICMP,SAMBA\",";
    cadena += "SrcPortType:2,";
    cadena += "SrcPortName:InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANIPConnection.1";
    cadena += "]";
    log( "cadena: " + cadena );

    declare( cadena, {
        path: Date.now()
    }, {
        path: 1
    } );

```
