Page 72: Intrusion Detection
BIPAC-74x Series Router – 741 GE, 741 GE V2.0 and 743 GE 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 73 BIPAC-74x Series Router – 741 GE, 741 GE V2.0 and 743 GE Max PING Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo Storm is occurring or not.

Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the switch to only accept traffic from specified machines, or else to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.
Page 76: Url Filter
Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only. For example, if the URL is http://www.billion.com.tw/abcde.html, it will be dropped as the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL. Chapter 3: Basic Installation and Configuration...
Page 77 3. If the packet does not match either of the above two items, it is sent to the remote web server. 4. Please be note that the domain only should be specified, not the full URL. For example to block traffic to www.billion.com.au, enter “billion” or “billion.com.au” instead of “www.billion.com.au”. In the example below, the URL request for www.billion.com.tw...
