VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router A Domain Name System (DNS) contains a mapping table for domain name and IP addresses. On the Internet, every host has a unique and user-friendly name (domain name) such as www.helloworld.com and an IP address. An IP address is a 32-bit number in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example 192.168.1.254.

But in some area, multimode cannot detect the ADSL line code well. If it is the case, please adjust the ADSL line code to G.dmt or T1.413 first. If it still fails, please try the other values such as ALCTL, ADI, etc.

Advanced Options ADSL Parameters help to interpret your ADSL line statistics. SNR Margin: It is known as Signal to Noise Ration Margin. It is the relative of DSL strength to Noise ratio. This margin is measured in decibels (dB). Higher the dB figures better the DSL strength and better chance to get faster speed.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router System Here are the items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart User Management. Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Remote Access To temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select a time period the router will permit remote access for and click Enable. You may change other configuration options for the web administration interface using Device Management options in the Advanced section of the GUI.
Firmware Upgrade Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Backup / Restore These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Restart Router Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved configuration). If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router User Management In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password. You are able to Edit existing users and Create new users who are able to access the device’s configuration interface.
Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT, the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
General Settings You can choose not to enable Firewall and still able to access to URL Filter and IM/P2P Blocking or enable the Firewall using preset filter rules and modify the port filter rules as required. The Packet Filter is used to filter packets based-on Applications (Port) or IP addresses.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Packet Filter This function is only available when the Firewall is enabled and one of these four security levels is chosen (All blocked, High, Medium and Low). The preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter must modify accordingly to the level of Firewall, which is selected.

Intrusion Detection The router’s Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker attacks and intrusion attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.

VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Virtual Server (known as Port Forwarding) In TCP/IP and UDP 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”.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Add Virtual Server Because NAT can act as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from being accessed by outside users when using NAT, as all incoming connection attempts will point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network.
Example: If you like to remote accessing your Router through the Web/HTTP at all time, you would need to enable port number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map to Router’s IP Address. Then all incoming HTTP requests from you (Remote side) will be forwarded to the Router with IP address of 192.168.1.254. Since port number 80 has already been predefined, next to the Application click Helper.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Edit DMZ Host 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.
Edit One-to-One NAT (Network Address Translation) One-to-One NAT maps a specific private/local IP address to a global/public IP address. If you have multiple public/WAN IP addresses from you ISP, you are eligible for One-to-One NAT to utilize these IP addresses. NAT Type: Select desired NAT type.

After 100 seconds, the device will automatically logout User A. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) 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.
