This page allows you to enable/disable some features of the Wireless Cable Gateway. Check WAN
Blocking and then click Apply to prevent others on the WAN side from being able to ping your
gateway. With WAN Blocking on, your gateway will not respond to pings it receives, effectively
“
hiding” your gateway.
Check Ipsec Pass Through and then click Apply to enable IpSec type packets to pass WAN <=>
LAN. IpSec (IP Security) is a security mechanism used in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). E.g.,
your employer may offer VPN connectivity to your office network to provide security.
Check PPTP Pass Through and then click Apply to enable PPTP type packets to pass WAN <=> LAN.
PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) is another mechanism sometimes used in VPNs. Check
Remote Config Management and then click Apply to make the configuration web pages in your
gateway accessible from the WAN side. Then you could, for example, access your home gateway
configuration from your workplace, if that location also had Internet connectivity. Page access is
limited to only those who know the gateway access password you set using the Status...Password
web page.
