Hello fxyoung,
Welcome to the community!
Yes, you can manage them remotely. You'll have to setup port forwarding on your router to achieve this. First, assign a static IP address on the switch, and forward HTTPS to the IP address you have assigned. A certificate is required to achieve this since this is very secured. Please see page 157 of the User Manual.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
