System Management
Clicking the System Management button allows system related parameters to be configured for the
WLA-5000AP.
Remote Management : The remote management feature allows you to manage your WLA-5000AP
remotely through the use of an HTTP browser.
The system allows you to (1) allow remote management from all WAN IP addresses , to (2) allow
remote management from up to two WAN IP addresses , or to (3) disallow remote manage-
ment from any WAN IP addresses .
System Administration : The router allows you to designate special port numbers other than the stan-
dard 80 for http for remote management. It also allows you to specify the duration of idle time (inac-
tivity) before a web browser session times out. The default time-out value is 10 minutes.
UPnP : The router's Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows a Windows XP/ME PC to dis-
cover the router and automatically show an icon in the task bar on the screen. You can double-click the
icon to access the router directly (without having to specify its IP address).
Disable Ping : "Ping" is a utility for testing the connectivity. Response to a ping can be disabled, such
as when you do not want the router to be accessed (e.g., attacked) from the Internet.
Syslog: Syslog is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force - the Internet standards body)-
conformant standard for logging system events (RFC-3164). When the WLA-5000AP encounters an
error or warning condition (e.g., a log-in attempt with an invalid password), it will create a log in the
system log table. To be able to remotely view such system log events, you need to check the
Enable
Syslog box, configure the IP address of a PC where a Syslog daemon is running in the background.
When doing so, the WLA-5000AP will send logged events over the network to the PC for future view-
ing.
Syslog server IP address: The IP address of the PC where the Syslog daemon is running.
