ER605 ping from WAN

Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hello.  I have a watchdog in site B to ping site A.  It's working great and it alerts me if the Internet connection at site A is down.  However, after I replaced the firewall in site A with ER605, my watchdog can no longer ping site A! EVEN though I unchecked the "Block Ping from WAN" from the "Attack Defense" under Firewall.  What can I do to enable the ER605 at site A to respond to ping?  The reason why I have the watchdog in site B is because all I have in site A are cameras and sensors, no linux box or servers there.

 

Thanks in advance.

Are you pinging ER605 WAN IP address?

Is the WAN IP a public IP?

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

Yes, i ping the WAN side with a public public IP amd dynamic dns by noip_dot_com.  Points A and B are in separate geographical locations. As I have mentioned, my watchdog was able to ping point A's router before I installed the ER605 as firewall which is now point A's gateway. I thought by un-checking the "Block ping from WAN" option in Firewall->Defense would allow ping from WAN but No!
