You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy.
Page 79
As you can see from the diagram below, when the firewall is enabled with one of the three presets (Low/Medium/High), inbound HTTP access is not allowed which means remote access through HTTP to your router is not allowed. Note: Inbound indicates accessing from Internet to LAN and Outbound is from LAN to the Internet.
Page 80
Configuring Packet Filter: Click Packet Filters. You will then be presented with the predefined port filter rules screen (in this case for the low security level), shown below: Note: You may click Edit the predefined rule instead of Delete it. This is an example to show to how you add a filter on your own.

URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http:// www.example.com) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.
Page 87
Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL not the IP address, in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both check-boxes must be checked. Here is the checking procedure: Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list.
Page 88
Example: Andy wishes to disable all WEB traffic except for ones listed in the trusted domain, which would prevent Bobby from accessing other web sites. Andy selects both functions in the Domain Filtering and thinks that it will stop Bobby. But Bobby knows this function, Domain Filtering, ONLY disables all WEB traffic except for Trusted Domain, BUT not its IP address.
IM / P2P Blocking IM, short for Instant Message, is required to use client program software that allows users to communicate, in exchanging text message, with other IM users in real time over the Internet. A P2P application, known as Peer-to-peer, is group of computer users who share file to specific groups of people across the Internet.

VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol VoIP enables telephone calls through existing Internet connection instead of going through the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). It is not only cost-effective, especially for a long distance telephone charges, but also toll-quality voice calls over the Internet. Here are the items within the VoIP section: SIP Device Parameters, SIP Accounts, Phone Port, PSTN Dial Plan, VoIP Dial Plan, Call Features, Speed Dial...
SIP Device Parameters This section provides easy setup for your VoIP service. Phone port 1 and 2 can be registered to different SIP Service Provider. SIP Device Parameters SIP: To use VoIP SIP as VoIP call signaling protocol. Default is set to Disable. Silence Suppression (VAD): Voice Activation Detection (VAD) prevents transmitting the nature silence to consume the bandwidth.
Page 123
Advanced – Parameters VoIP through IP Interface: IP Interface decides where to send/receive the voip traffic; it includes: ipwan and iplan. Easy way to select the interface is to check the location of the SIP server. If it locates some where in the Internet then select ipwan. If the VoIP SIP server is on the local Network then select iplan.
Page 124
To take your phone OFFHOOK, lift the receiver then press Hook/Flash until you hear your normal PSTN dialtone, not your VoIP dialtone. Wait several seconds and then press Check Level. You should check the OFFHOOK value for each telephone you have connected to this device. Set the OFFHOOK voltage to the lowest setting registered for all your telephones, e.g.
SIP Accounts This section reflects and contains basic settings for the VoIP module from selected provider in the Wizard section. Fail to provide correct information will halt making calls out to the Internet. Profile Name: User-defined name is for identifying the Profile. Registrar Address (or Hostname): Indicate the VoIP SIP registrar IP address.
Phone Port This section displays status and allows you to edit the account information of your Phones. Click Edit to update your phone information. Port: It allows you to change the phone port setting for specify FXS port. *69 (Return Call): Dial *69 to return the last missed call. It is only available for VoIP call(s). *20 (Do not Disturb ON): Dial *20 to set the No Disturb on.

without waiting. Note: Refer to Special Dial Code section in this Manual for more details. Codec Preference Codec is known as Coder-Decoder used for data signal conversion. Set the priority of voice compression; Priority 1 owns the top priority. G.729: It is used to encoder and decoder voice information into a single packet which reduces the bandwidth consumption.
PSTN Dial Plan (Router with LINE port only) This section enables you to configure “VoIP with PSTN switching” on your system. You can define a range of dial plans to make regular call from VoIP switching to PSTN line. Prefix numbers is essential key to make a distinguishing between VoIP and Regular phone call.
Page 130
PSTN Dial Plan Examples: Dial with Prefix If you dial 01223 707070, number 01223707070 will be dialed out via FXO to make a regular phone call. Dial without Prefix If you dial 9102, the number 102 will only be dialed out via FXO port to make a regular phone call. Dial at Timeout If you only dial 01223 7070 and no more numbers, after the timeout activates, 012237070 will be dialed to make a regular call via FXO port.
Page 131
Even though 7070 (only 4 digits) does not match with number of digits 6 defined in the filed, 7070 is still a valid phone number since it has not exceeded 6 digits. Dial at Timeout no Prefix If you only dial 97070 and no more numbers, after the timeout activates, 7070 will be dialed without prefix to make a regular call via FXO port.
VoIP Dial Plan This section helps you to make a telephony number dialed as making a regular call via VoIP. You no longer need to memorize a long dial string of number for making a VoIP call. Go to Configuration > VoIP > VoIP Dial Plan. Dial Plan Rules Click the Add button to create and define a VoIP dial-plan rule(s).
Page 133
Main Digit Sequence: The call(s) can be called out via SIP or PSTN or ENUM. x: Any numeric number between 0 and 9. .

QoS - Quality of Service QoS function helps you to control your network traffic for each application from LAN (Ethernet and/or Wireless) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you to control the different quality and speed of through put for each application when the system is running with full loading of upstream. Here are the items within the QoS section: Throttling (bandwidth management).
Destination IP address Range: The destination IP address or range of packets to be monitored. Destination Port: The destination port of packets to be monitored. DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to assign specific application traffic to be executed in priority by the next Router based on the DSCP value.

Mission-critical application Mostly the VPN connection is mission-critical application for doing data exchange between head and branch office. The mission-critical application must be sent out smoothly without any dropping. Set priority as high level for preventing any other applications to saturate the bandwidth. Voice application Voice is latency-sensitive application.

With above settings that help to limit utilization of upstream of FTP. Time schedule also help you to only limit utilization at daytime. Advanced setting by using IP throttling With IP throttling you can specify more detail for allocating bandwidth; even the applications are located in the same level.
Page 146
Sometime your customers or friends may upload their files to your FTP server and that will saturate your downstream bandwidth. The settings below help you to limit bandwidth for the restricted application.
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”.
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.
Page 149
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. A list of predefined rules window will pop and select HTTP_Sever.
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. Go to Configuration >...

Example: List of some well-known and registered port numbers. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the central coordinator for the assignment of unique parameter values for Internet protocols. Port numbers range from 0 to 65535, but only ports numbers 0 to 1023 are reserved for privileged services and are designated as “well-known ports”...
Time Schedule The Time Schedule supports up to 16 time slots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. 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.

Advanced Configuration options within the Advanced section are for users who wish to take advantage of the more advanced features of the router. Users who do not understand the features should not attempt to reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support staff. Here are the items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Dynamic DNS, Check Email, Device Management, IGMP...
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 ADSL 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.
Check Email This function allows you to have the router check your POP3 mailbox for new Email messages. The Mail LED on your router will light when it detects new messages waiting for download. You may also view the status of this function using the Status – Email Checking section of the web interface, which also provides details on the number of new messages waiting.
Device Management The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s security options and device monitoring features. Device Host Name Host Name: Assign it a name. (The Host Name cannot be used with one word only. There are two words should be connected with a ‘.’...
