Remote Management - When

enabled, remote management

will allow you to confi gure your

access point remotely over the

Internet. A port should be speci-

fi ed between the ranges of 1 and

65535.
The management interface can

then be accessed by your IP Ad-

dress as shown and the port as

in http://244.244.222.130:10500

where 244.244.222.130 is the

WAN IP Address and 10500 is

the specifi ed port.

Reply to Ping from WAN Port - When the AirStation is set to respond to Ping requests, it will

acknowledge its IP Address and various other information from over the Internet. This is useful to

managing remote access points and ensuring uptime, but it can be considered a security breach as

well as it does distribute some minimal information about your router. At the minimum, make sure

you have changed your root (administrator) password with either of these functions enabled.
