    4.4.1.4 Wireless MAC Filter The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the router to give exclusive access to up to 8 devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 8 devices from accessing the router (Deny Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address.

  • Page 62: Advanced Setup

    4.4.2 Advanced Setup Advanced Step provides some advanced features including Firewall, Routing, NAT, Static DNS, ADSL, QoS, Internet Grouping, Time Schedule and Remote System Log for all advanced users. Please move on to have a picture of what the exact feature is about and how to use it.

  • Page 63: Firewall

    4.4.2.1 Firewall Your router includes a firewall for helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. Firewall: To automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, Port Scan and Land Attack.

  • Page 64: Routing

    4.4.2.2 Routing This is static route feature. You are equipped with the capability to control the routing of all the traffic across your network. With each routing rule created, user can specifically assign the destination where the traffic will be routed to.
  • Page 65 ADD Route Destination IP Address: This is the destination subnet IP address. Destination Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination network. Gateway IP Address/Interface：This is the gateway IP address or existing interface to which packets are to be forwarded. Metric：It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15.

  • Page 66: Nat

    4.4.2.3 NAT The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature transforms a private IP into a public IP, allowing multiple users to access the internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. NAT break the originally envisioned model of IP end-to-end connectivity across the internet so NAT can cause problems where IPSec/ PPTP encryption is applied or some application layer protocols such as SIP phones are located behind a NAT.
  • Page 67 The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries. DMZ for: Indicate the related WAN interface which allows outside network to connect in and communicate.
  • Page 68 Virtual Server In TCP/IP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them.
  • Page 69 Start Port Number: Enter a port number as the starting number of the range which you want to give access to internal server. End Port Number: Enter a port number as the end number of the range which you want to give access to internal server..
  • Page 70 Some tips for using DMZ and Virtual Server: Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using DMZ.

  • Page 71: Static Dns

    4.4.2.4 Static DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.

  • Page 72: Adsl

    4.4.2.5 ADSL This screen allows you to adjust DSL parameters. DSL knowledge is required to configure these settings. Contact your ISP to make sure that these parameters are correct. SRA: Seamless Rate Adaptation, is a technology used to adapt the rate seamlessly without any influence to the working system, to assure of the quality of the DSL system.

  • Page 73: Qos

    4.4.2.6 QoS Quality of Service (QoS) helps to prioritize data as it enters your router. By attaching special identification marks or headers to incoming packets, QoS determines which queue the packets enter, based on priority. This is useful when there are certain types of data you want to give higher priority to, such as voice data packets given higher priority than Web data packets.
  • Page 74 QoS: Select to activate QoS configuration.. Algorithm QoS Schedulng: The Queue Scheduling , here supporting WRR (Weighted Round Robin) and SP (Strict Priority).  WRR: Weighted Round Robin, used to alternate each WRR queue to ensure that every queue can enjoy its due service time (resource) in accordance with its weight.

  • Page 76: Interface Grouping

    4.4.2.7 Interface Grouping Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location.

In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications. This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real time clock on board;...

  • Page 79: Remote System Log

    4.4.2.9 Remote System Log Remote System Log is designed to keep remote administrators informed of the system-operating information. Administrator can set up a remote system log server for receiving and monitoring the system information by enabling remote system log feature on the router. Remote System Log: Select whether to activate “Remote System Log”.

    4.4.3.2 SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Router serves as a SNMP agent which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the router through the network. SNMP: Select to enable SNMP feature.

  • Page 83: Universal Plug & Play

    4.4.3.3 Universal Plug & Play UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.

  • Page 84: Dynamic Dns

    4.4.3.4 Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your internet connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time.

It is a management tool aimed to allow IPs(set in secure IP address) to access specified embedded applications (Web, etc, user can set) through some specified interface (LAN, WAN or both). User can have an elaborate understanding in the examples below.
  • Page 87 By default, the “Access Control” has two default rules. 1. Rule 1(Index 1), a rule to allow only clients from LAN to have access to all embedded applications (Web, FTP, etc). Under this situation, clients from WAN can not access the router even from Ping. 2, Rule 2(Index 2), a ACL rule to open Ping to WAN side.
