  • Page 29: Ddns

    DDNS Dynamic DNS (DDNS) provides users on the Internet with a method to tie a specific domain name to the unit’s dynamically assigned IP address. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by changing your DNS records when your IP address changes.

  • Page 30: Lan

    Gateway Mode The Pocket VoIP Gateway must have a valid IP address for management using a web browser and to support other features. The unit has a default IP address of 192.168.7.1. You can use this IP address or assign another address that is compatible with your existing local network.

  • Page 31: Nat

    Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard method of mapping multiple "internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address on devices at the edge of a network. For the Pocket VoIP Gateway, the internal (local) IP addresses are the IP addresses assigned to PCs and wireless clients by the DHCP server, and the external IP address is the IP address assigned to the WAN port.

  • Page 32: Port Mapping

    Gateway Mode • Public Port – Specifies the public port used for the service. • Enabled – Enables the virtual server mapping on the specified ports. Port Mapping Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled.

  • Page 33: Dmz

    If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way internet access by defining a virtual-DMZ (virtual-demilitarized-zone) host. Figure 3-8. Gateway Mode DMZ •...

  • Page 34: Firewall

    Gateway Mode Firewall The Pocket VoIP Gateway provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone (DMZ).

  • Page 35: Firewall Options

    Firewall Firewall Options The Pocket VoIP Gateway’s firewall enables access control of client PCs, blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, Smurf Attack, TCP null scan, ICMP defect, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system performance and it is best to leave it enabled to protect your network.
