System Management
Clicking the System Management button allows system related parameters to be configured for the
802.11a/g Router.
Remote Management: The remote management feature allows you to manage your 802.11a/g
Router remotely through the use of an HTTP browser.
The system allows you to (1) allow remote management from all WAN IP addresses, to (2) allow
remote management from up to two WAN IP addresses, or to (3) disallow remote
management from any WAN IP addresses.
System Administration: The router allows you to designate special port numbers other than the
standard 80 for http for remote management. It also allows you to specify the duration of idle time
(inactivity) before a web browser session times out. The default time-out value is 10 minutes.
UPnP: The router's Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows a Windows XP/ME PC to
discover the router and automatically show an icon in the task bar on the screen. You can double-click
the icon to access the router directly (without having to specify its IP address).
Disable Ping: "Ping" is a utility for testing the connectivity. Response to a ping can be disabled, such
as when you do not want the router to be accessed (e.g., attacked) from the Internet.
Bridge: You can enable/disable the 802.1d STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) function on the bridge of
WLAN and Ethernet (i.e. the LAN interface). Enable this function can detect loops in your LAN
environment and then protect the LAN from being saturated with infinite loop traffic.
