Set profile = fwMgr.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile

set RASettings = profile.RemoteAdminSettings

' Enable RemoteAdmin traffic from the 12.1.1.64 subnet
RASettings.Enabled = TRUE
RASettings.RemoteAddresses = "12.1.1.64/255.255.255.240"

'Use this line if you want to disable RemoteAdmin
'RASettings.Enabled = FALSE
