    4.3 Advanced Setup 4.3.1 Firewall Your router includes a firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN and helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
  • Page 37 4.3.2 Routing If you have another router with a LAN-to-LAN connection, you may create a static routing on the router that is the gateway to Internet. #: Item number Dest IP: IP address of the destination network Mask: The destination mask address. Gateway IP: IP address of the gateway or existing interface that this route uses.

  • Page 39 4.3.2 NAT The NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. The default setting is Dynamic NAPT. It provides dynamic Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table.
  • Page 40 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.
  • Page 41 information on NAT. The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
  • Page 42 IP Address Mapping Rule Index: Choose the rule number. Rule Type: One-to-one: This is the mode maps one local IP address to one global IP address. Note that port numbers do not change for the One-to-one NAT mapping type. Many-to-One: This is the mode maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP address. This is equivalent to Many to One (i.e., PAT, port address translation).
  • Page 43 Local End IP address. This field is N/A for One-to-one and Server mapping types. Public Start IP: This is the starting Inside Public IP Address. Enter 0.0.0.0 here if you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP. Public End IP: This is the ending Inside Public IP Address. This field is N/A for One-to-one, Many-to-One and Server mapping types.

  • Page 51 4.4.5 DDNS 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.

  • Page 52: Maintenance

    4.5 Maintenance 4.5.1 Administrator In factory setting, the default password is admin, and that for user is also password. You can change the default password to ensure that someone cannot adjust your settings without your permission. Every time you change your password, please record the password and keep it at a safe place.
  • Page 53 4.5.2 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. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified.
  • Page 54 4.5.3 Firmware 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.
  • Page 55 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. You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button on the back of your router in for 10-12 seconds whilst the router is turned on.
