permit remote access to hotspot wireless devices?
I want to use the hotspot in my routed environment, but can't seem to modify the firewall (or hotspot) settings to allow remote access to hotspot devices. I need to monitor CPE availability(ping) and do remote configuration of wireless hotspot devices. any suggestions??
clarification
I need access to fixed IP hotspot devices, even when the user is not logged in!
Go to ip, hotspot, ip bindings. Click add
enter mac address of device, select pass-through. Thats all there is to it. You can optionally set an perminate ip here as well.

Thanks, but this does not create what I need, it creates a hotspot client that never needs authentication. I need a hotspot client that I can reach when they are not logged (fixed ip), yet when they try to use the net, they must authenticate to the hotspot. Put another way:
Outside network --> hotspot --> client [free ride, no authentication]
client --> hotspot --> outside networks [normal hotspot authentication]
unique port forwarding for each client doesn't scale well and would be difficult to maintain. I tried to remove/change the unauth-client-to rule on the firewall, but it is a dynamic rule that will not change!You need to port forward to your devices...trying searching then read the firewall manual as this has been discussed many times.
I just need to break the "hotspot" assumption that outside connections to unauth clients is not allowed.
