10.8 Ping Test
The Ping Test feature allows the user to ping to any network device from the router. This
helps in checking network connectivity from the router.

Press the Apply button to start the ping test. When the test is over the results are shown
in the text box below.
10.9 Remote Access
Remote Access enables the Administrator to remotely provision the router over a secure
SSL-based Web User Interface. He can also perform remote software upgrades and
remote monitoring to ensure smooth operation of the network. In case of external attacks,
the administrator can use the logging provided by the router to locate what kind of attack
has happened, when it has taken place and which device may have played a role in it. The
administrator can then decide on what firewall policies to add to prevent future attacks
(or take necessary steps to correct any internal device problem). Once the problem is
corrected, the logs can be used to verify the smooth and correct operation of the router.
Select Tools → → → → Remote Access to configure Remote Access as explained below.
If Firewall feature is enabled, only these selected IP addresses will be able to access the
router remotely. However if there is no firewall configured then anyone can access the
device from an external host.
