the

the WAN MAC address to a registered one when users change their
access equipment.

External Admin.
Choose
“Enable”
to allow you to configure the
BLW-04G from the WAN side. Enter a port number between 1024 and
65535 (8080 is recommended). This port number must be specified
when you connect. To access the setting page from the external side,
enter “
http://<WAN IP Address>:<Port Number>”
into the web
browser address bar and press the “
Enter”
key.

MTU
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value should only be
changed if advised to do so by Technical Support. Enter a value
between 1 and 1500. This device will still auto-negotiate with the
remote server, to set the MTU size. The smaller of the 2 values
(auto-negotiated, or entered here) will be used. For direct
connections (not PPPoE or PPTP), the MTU used is always 1500.
y
Block WAN Request
The ICMP protocol is used by the "ping" and
"traceroute" programs, and by network monitoring and diagnostic
programs. If
Enable
, ICMP packets from the Internet will be ignored.
Disabling this option provides a slight increase in security.
