Checking this box prevents the cable modem 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

Checking this box enables Remote Configuration

 

Management

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.

Checking this box allows multicasts to pass from the

 

 

WAN side through to the private network
