Page 37: Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing makes use of the RIP Protocol to allow the ADSL Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The NB4, using the RIP protocol, will determine the network packet route based on the fewest number of hops between the Source and the Destination. -

Page 41: Access Control
Access Control Use Access Control to configure advanced security functions by customising the NB4 Firewall. The default 'Firewall On' setting blocks all anonymous Internet traffic. Access control enables the user to selectively direct such traffic, for example to a Web Host in the DMZ or to specific ports opened for such applications as Web, Telnet or FTP. - Page 42 If Access Control is enabled, and an Enable WAN checkbox is selected, then WAN access to the matching service is enabled. In other words, for example, if your were to enable Telnet access on the WAN you could then manage and configure your NB4 from anywhere on the Internet via Telnet.
