Administration Configuration
WAN Management: Available only in NAT Routing Mode. If available, this item
is disabled by default. That is, any external access from the WAN port will be
rejected. If this option is enabled, a
WAN Port
field is displayed with the default
value of 80. If required, you may enter another port number used for external WAN
access.
If WAN Management is enabled using a port other than 80, the router’s HTTP
service (Web Configuration Utility) will be accessible via the router’s WAN port IP
address followed by a colon and the non-80 port:
http://<WAN IP address>:<non-80 port>
For example, if 1234 is entered, the router will be accessible at
http:// 203.1.2.3:1234 where 203.1.2.3 indicates the WAN port’s IP address.
If WAN Management is enabled using standard port 80, no suffix is required.
If WAN Management is enabled using port 80, your publicly accessible Web server
(if any) on the LAN side should use a non-80 HTTP port. You will need to use the
Forwarding feature to shift external HTTP requests to the non-80 port number used
by the Web server on the LAN side.
WAN Port Ping Reply: Available only in NAT Routing Mode. If available, this
setting determines if an external host will get a reply when trying to ping the IP
address of your WAN port. It is disabled by default.
WRC Finder Function Via WAN: Available only in NAT Routing Mode. If
enabled, the current settings for Wireless Routing Centers will be displayed when a
WAN computer launches this function.
UPnP: Available only in NAT Routing Mode. It allows Windows XP to automati-
cally configure the Router for various Internet applications, such as Windows
Messenger®. If available, it is enabled by default.
NetBIOS Communication: Available only in NAT Routing Mode. Port numbers
137~139 and 445 that are used by NetBIOS will be open. It is disabled by default.
