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?

    I agree, Barry - either a VPN or a RED if his "managed WAN service" can't route 1.2.3.4 to the UTM.

    Cheers - Bob

    I believe that the AP only tries to contact 1.2.3.4 if it has not been provisioned yet (a discovery process) or if it loses contact with its managing UTM for a prolonged period of time.  In normal operation, it communicates with the UTM over whatever IP the UTM has on the subnet it reaches it on.
