For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). You also need to add prefix "T"...

  • Page 47: Domain Filter

     Domain Suffix: A suffix of URL to be restricted; For example, ".com", "xxx.com".  Action: When someone is accessing the URL that meets the domain suffix, what kind of action you want the WBR-6020 to take. Tick on Drop to block the access and/or tick on Log to log this access.

  • Page 48: Url Blocking

    URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers from connecting to a pre-defined Web Site. The major difference between Domain Filter and URL Blocking is that Domain Filter requires the user to input suffixes (eg: xxx.com, ttt.net) while URL Blocking only requires user to input a keyword. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword.

  • Page 49: Mac Address Control

    If a client is denied, then it means the client cannot send or receive any data via this WBR-6020. Choose “allow” or “deny” to allow or deny the clients with MAC addresses that are not in the list to associate to the wireless network.
  • Page 50 For example, Client 3 tries to use an IP address different from the address listed in the Control Table (192.168.0.5), it will be denied to connect to the WBR-6020. 5. Clients 2 and 3 and other wired clients with a MAC address unspecified in the Control table are all allowed to connect to this device.

  • Page 54: Dynamic Dns

    Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS is a feature that allows users to set up a static domain name even when they have a dynamic internet IP address. So even if your IP address changes every time you connect to your ISP, the IP address can be mapped to a host name so that anyone who wants to connect to the WBR- 6020, or any services behind the router from the internet can just use the Dynamic DNS hostname instead of the IP address which might change.

  • Page 55: Qos Rule

    Here you can set the parameters for QoS (Quality of Service). This function allows you to specify which types of data packets are given priority. For example you can increase the priority of Voice Over IP or gaming packets so that they are handled first by WBR-6020. To enable QoS Control, tick Enable.
