	is on the Internet. Enter the IP Address that you wish to Ping,
	and click Ping.
Restart Device-	Click Reboot to restart the DI-784.

Block WAN Ping- If you choose to block WAN Ping, the WAN IP Address of the DI- 784 will not respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide

from WAN side-	Click Enabled to block the WAN ping.
VPN
Pass Through-	The DI-784 supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through
	for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP
	Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need
	to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be
	made through the DI-784. This is useful when you have many
	VPN clients on the LAN network.
