  • Page 36: Special Ap

    Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with the WBR-6800. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If this fails to make an application work, try setting that computer as the DMZ host instead.

  • Page 37: Miscellaneous Items

    This setting is most commonly used for Internet gaming, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and other special applications. To enable DMZ, enter the IP address of the PC and tick on Enable. UPnP Setting The WBR-6800 supports Universal Plug and Play. However this depends on your operating system.

    Packet Filter Packet Filters allows you to control what packets are allowed to pass through the WBR-6800. The Outbound Filter applies to all outbound packets and the Inbound Filter only applies to packets that are destined to Virtual Servers or the DMZ Host only.
  • Page 40 For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (192.168.0.1) or a range of IP addresses (192.168.0.100 – 192.168.0.200). An empty implies all IP addresses. For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). You also need to add prefix "T"...

  • Page 41: Domain Filter

     Domain Suffix: A suffix of URL to be restricted; For example, ".com", "xxx.com".  Action: When someone is accessing the URL that meets the domain suffix, what kind of action you want the WBR-6800 to take. Tick on Drop to block the access and/or tick on Log to log this access.

  • Page 42: Url Blocking

    URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers from connecting to a pre-defined Web Site. The major difference between Domain Filter and URL Blocking is that Domain Filter requires the user to input suffixes (eg: xxx.com, ttt.net) while URL Blocking only requires user to input a keyword. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword.

  • Page 43: Mac Address Control

    If a client is denied, then it means the client cannot send or receive any data via this WBR-6800. Choose “allow” or “deny” to allow or deny the clients with MAC addresses that are not in the list to associate to the wireless network.
  • Page 44 For example, Client 3 tries to use an IP address different from the address listed in the Control Table (192.168.12.101), it will be denied to connect to the WBR-6800. 5. Clients 2 and 3 and other wired clients with a MAC address unspecified in the Control table are all allowed to connect to this device.

  • Page 45: Miscellaneous Items

    Miscellaneous Items This page allows you to change various miscellaneous security settings.

    System Log The WBR-6800 supports both Syslog (using UDP packets) and E-Mail alert. For Syslog, you will need to enter the IP address of the host computer that will be receiving the syslog messages and tick on Enable. For E-Mail alert, you will need to define the following: ...

  • Page 49: Dynamic Dns

    Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS is a feature that allows users to set up a static domain name even when they have a dynamic internet IP address. So even if your IP address changes every time you connect to your ISP, the IP address can be mapped to a host name so that anyone who wants to connect to the WBR- 6800, or any services behind the router from the internet can just use the Dynamic DNS hostname instead of the IP address which might change.

  • Page 50: Snmp Setting

    SNMP Setting SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is designed to give users the ability to remotely manage a computer or network device. To enable SNMP, please set the following:  Enable SNMP: You must check either Local or Remote or both to enable SNMP function. If Local is checked, this unit will respond to requests from LAN.

  • Page 51: Routing

    Routing When you have more than one WBR-6800, or router with different subnets on the network, you will need to enable this function to allow the different subnets to communicate with each other. There are two types of routing supported by the WBR-6800.
  • Page 52 Destination 192.168.1.0 192.168.0.0 So if, for example, Client3 wants to send an IP data packet to 192.168.0.2, it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.123.103 (Router 2) And if it sends Packets to 192.168.1.11 will go via 192.168.123.216 (Router 1) Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
