Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as "pinging" to find potential
victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving
a response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something
of interest might be there. The Messaging Manager can be set up so it
will not respond to an ICMP ping from the outside. This heightens the
level of security of your Message Manager.
To turn off the ping response, select "Block ICMP Ping" (1) and click
"Apply Changes". The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
