Can UTM9 manage Wireless AP at a remote site?

Glenn Tetlow
We are investigating the Sophos UTM9 Wireless Protection.
We have it running at our main office on the local subnet and all is working well.
One questions I have is this.  If we put a Sophos Wireless AP into one of our remote sites which are connected via our WAN, can we still manage this Remote site AP via our Main office UTM or do we need to put in a RED at the remote site to be able to manage this AP?

    By gosh, Barry - you taught me something again!

    I checked our 8.309 with AP 10.  Network usage shows no traffic to 1.2.3.4 today, and I've been working via the AP for several hours.  It does show 44.7kB of AOCP traffic over the last week when we had a brief power glitch that caused it to rebooot

    I bet it just needs that when it reboots so that it can negotiate a mini-RED-type tunnel with a local UTM; I think it doesn't request firmware upgrades, rather that those are pushed to it.

    Can anyone add to/correct that?

    Cheers - Bob
