      OOPS.  I don't think you're going to be able to hit that box without a serial cable or IPMI (if exists).  Someone correct me if there's another method.  Having this external management ability by default, like many other off-the-shelf firewall solutions, could open the unit up to DNS re-binding type attacks.

      In hindsight, you CAN add a simple rule to allow administrative access via WAN.  Even though I have done this myself at a couple locations on non-standard ports, this is still considered taboo by many security folks (even though the webserver isn't actually bound to the external interface).
