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.
ADSL Connect Mode: The default setting is Multimode. This mode will automatically detect your ADSL line code, G.dmt, G.lite, and T1.413. 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.
System There are six items within the System section: Backup/Restore, Restart 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. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button.
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.
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. It is advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.
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.
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 (Network Address Translation. Please see the WAN configuration section for more details on NAT) the router acts as a “natural”...
General Settings You can choose not to enable Firewall, to add all filter rules by yourself, 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. There are four options when you enable the Firewall, they are: All blocked/User-defined: no pre-defined port or address filter rules by default, meaning that all inbound (Internet to LAN) and outbound (LAN to Internet) packets will be blocked.
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 predefined port filter rules in the Packet Filter must modify accordingly to the level of Firewall, which is selected. See Table1: Predefined Port Filter for more detailed information.
Page 62
Example: Predefined Port Filters Rules The predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security levels are listed. See Table 1.

Configure your Virtual Server (“port forwarding”) settings so that incoming HTTP requests on port 80 will be forwarded to the PC running your web server: For how to configure the HTTP in Virtual Server, go to Add Virtual Server in Virtual Note: Server section for more details.
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.
Page 69
Max ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is occurring or not. Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING). For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log. It cannot protect against such attacks.
URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of 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 71
For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, it will be dropped as the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL. Domains Filtering: This function checks the domain name only, 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).
Page 72
Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules. 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.
Firewall Log Firewall Log display log information of any unexpected action with your firewall settings. Check the Enable box to activate the logs. Log information can be seen in the Status – Event Log after enabling. Chapter 4: Configuration VoIP/802.11g ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Router...
VPN (Virtual Private Networks) Virtual Private Networks is ways to establish secured communication tunnels to an organization’s network via the Internet. Your router supports three main types of VPN (Virtual Private Network), IPSec L2TP.

VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Router Virtual Server (“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.
Internal IP Address: The private IP in the LAN network, which will be providing the virtual server application. with IP address and MAC from this list. 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.
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.

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. There are four items within the Advanced section: 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. Embedded Web Server HTTP Port: This is the port number the router’s embedded web server (for web-based configuration) will use. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. Users may specify an alternative if, for example, they are running a web server on a PC within their LAN.

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.
