WAN Blocking
Checking this box prevents the residential gateway from being
visible to the WAN. For example, pings to the WAN IP address are
not returned.
IPsec PassThrough
Checking this box allows applications that use IPsec (IP Security) to
pass through the firewall
PPTP PassThrough
Checking this box allows applications that use Point to Point
Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) to pass through the firewall
Remote Config
Management
Checking this box enables Remote Configuration Management that
allows the user or network operator to view and/or modify the
gateway set-up parameters from a location on the WAN, as opposed
to the LAN side of the gateway. Access to the set-up parameters is
obtained by using the password to access the WebWizard.
Enable this feature by checking the
Remote Config Management
box on the Setup Advanced Settings - Options page. To access your
gateway from a remote location, you must also know the WAN IP
address of the gateway. To find the WAN IP address, go to the
Network Configuration page under Basic Settings. You will find the
gateway's WAN IP address list on this page.
Enter the WAN IP address of your gateway into the address field of
any web browser using the following format:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the
WAN IP address of your gateway.
Be sure to follow the syntax exactly, and then click
Go
or press
Enter
. Your gateway web pages will appear on the remote computer.
You will still need to enter your password to access the Setup pages
of your gateway
Note:
If you choose to enable (check) this feature, be sure to set up a
user password to prevent unauthorized access to your gateway
settings.
Multicast Enable
Checking this box allows multicasts to pass from the WAN side
through to the private network
UPnP Enable
Checking this box enables Universal Plug and Play features
