Step 2: Select Pure Bridge mode, Enable VLAN MUX, set 802.1Q VLAN ID 200, Click Add. Step 3: Now go to Configuration > Advanced > VLAN, start to set VLAN. Select Port Based VLAN Type, set VLAN Group Name VLAN 200, select port 1 to join in this VLAN group and link this VLAN group to eth0.200 as follows.
ADSL Mode ADSL Mode: There are 2 modes “Annex L” and ”Annex M” that user can select for this connection. Modulator: There are 5 modes “ADSL2”, ”ADSL2+”, “G.Lite:”, “T1.413” and “G.DMT” that user can select for this connection. SRA: select whether to enable SRA feature. SRA, short for Seamless Rate Adaptation, is a technology used to adapt the rate seamlessly without any influence to the working system, to assure of the quality of the ADSL system.
System There are seven items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/ Restore, Restart, User Management, Syslog and Diagnostics Tools. 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 most current time from an SNTP server outside your network.
Firmware Upgrade Your router’s firmware is the software that enables it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software that runs in your router. Thus, by upgrading the newly improved version of the firmware allows you the advantage to use newly integrated features.
Backup / Restore These functions allow you to save a backup of the current configuration of your router to a defined location on your PC, or to restore a previously saved configuration. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup in hand in case any mistakes occur.
Restart There are 2 options for you to choose from before restarting the your 7800(N) device. You can either choose to restart your device to restore it to the Factory Default Settings or to restart the device with your current settings applied. Restarting your device to Factory Default Setting will be useful especially after you have accidentally changed your settings that may result in undesirable outcome.
User Management In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a username and password. Three user levels are provided here. Each user level there’s a default provided password. You must access the router with the appropriate username and password. Here the corresponding passwords are allowed to change.To change your password, simply enter the old password in the Old Password blank.
Page 121
Note: by default the other two users of level Advanced and level Basic, thus user and support, are not available, if you want to use the two accounts, check Valid and set their password. And here username is allowed to change, as follows, usename User in User field can be changed.
Syslog Remote Server: Specify the server that is used to save the device's syslog. Server IP Address: The IP address of remote server. Server UDP Port: The UDP Port of remote server.
Firewall Listed are the items under the Firewall section: Packet Filter,Ethernet MAC Filter, Wireless MAC Filter, Intrusion Detection, Block WAN PING URL Filter. Packet Filter Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specific internal / external users (IP address) from Internet access, or disable specific service requests (Port number) to / from the Internet.
Page 125
packets to pass) this packet. Internal Port: This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range 1 ~ 65535. It is recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user.
Ethernet MAC Filter A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the network to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.
Wireles MAC Filter A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the network to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.
Intrusion Detection The router Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker’s attack 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.
URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator) (e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http:// www.example.com) filter rule allows you to prevent users on your network from accessing specific websites defined by their URL. There are no predefined URL filter rules, therefore you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.

WAN Port: select the WAN port the PPTP Client are based on. Username: Enter the username provided by your VPN Server. Password: Enter the password provided by your VPN Server.
QoS - Quality of Service QoS helps you to control the data upload traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet and/ or Wireless) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you the features to control the quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full upstream load. IP Version: Select either IPv4 or IPv6 base on need.
Page 136
Priority: The priority given to each policy/application. Its default setting is set to Normal. You may adjust this setting to fit your policy / application.Internal IP Address: The private IP in the LAN network. External IP Address: The IP address on the Internet. Internal Port: The Port number on the LAN side.
Page 138
QoS Rules created Example 2: Optimize Your Home Network with QoS If you are only using a specific PC for the P2P application, you can create a rule that has a low priority. In this way, P2P application will not congest the data transmission rate when there are other applications present.
Virtual Server Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by Protocol and External port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is required only if the external port needs to be converted to a different port number used by the server on the LAN side.
Port Mapping Application: Select the service you wish to configure. Protocol: A protocol is automatically applied when an Application is selected from the listbox or you may select a protocol type which you want. But when RAW is selected, you must set the protocol number to identify the protocol that the application utilzie.
In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol is determined by a particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you may also specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to “all” causes all incoming connection attempts using all protocols on all port numbers to be forwarded to the specified IP address.
One-to-One NAT One-to-One NAT maps a specific private/local address to a global/public IP address. If you have multiple public/WAN IP address from your ISP, you are eligible for One-to-One NAT to utilize these IP addresses. WAN IP Pool: select Enable to activate the feature and Click Apply to submit your configuration. WAN Port: choose the WAN port you are going to configure multiple IPs for One-to-One NAT.
Controls enable or disable various protocols over application layer. For example, SIP ALG: Enable: When SIP phone need ALG to pass through the NAT. Disable: When SIP phone included NAT-Traversal algorithm. Turn off the SIP ALG.
Wake on LAN This feature provides greater flexibility for users to turn on / boot the computer of the network from a remotely site. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the target computer or you can select the MAC address directly from the Select drop down menu on the right.
Time Schedule The Time Schedule supports up to 16 time slots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allow the use of the Internet by users or applications. Time Schedule correlates closely with router time.
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. Here are the items within the Advanced section: Static Route,...
Static ARP This feature allows you to map the layer-2 MAC (Media Access Control) address that corresponds to the layer-3 IP address of the device. IP Address: Enter the IP of the device that the corresponding MAC address will be mapped to. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address that corresponds to the IP address of the device.
Static DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.
Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful when hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than the dynamic IP address which is assigned to you by ISP.
VLAN VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a group of devices on different physical LAN segments that can communicate with each other as if they were all on the same physical LAN segment. Type: Select the VLAN type from the drop-down menu. There are three options: Port Based, Tag Based and Disable.
