0 to 9 and the pound sign (#) on the phone keypad to activate the function. For example, speed dial to phone number lists on 9, just press keypad 9 then #. Your router will automatically call out to number listed on entry 9.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router PSTN Dial Plan (Router with LINE port only) This section enables you to configure “VoIP with PSTN switching” on your system. You can define a range of dial plans to make regular call from VoIP switching to PSTN line. Prefix numbers is essential key to make a distinguishing between VoIP and Regular phone call.

VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router 4) Dial at Timeout no Prefix If you only dial 97070 and no more numbers, after the timeout activates, 7070 will be dialed without prefix to make a regular call via FXO port. Even though 7070 (only 4 digits) does not match with number of digits 6 defined in the filed, 7070 is still a valid phone number since it has not exceed 6 digits.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router VoIP Dial Plan This section helps you to make a telephony number dialed as making a regular call via VoIP. You no longer need to memorize a long dial string of number for making a VoIP call.

The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT.
When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email server or game server, the router can act as a “virtual server”. You can set up a local server with a specific port number for the service to use, e.g.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Example: If you like to remote accessing your Router through the Web/HTTP at all time, you would need to enable port number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map to Router’s IP Address. Then all incoming HTTP requests from you (Remote side) will be forwarded to the Router with IP address of 192.168.1.254.

VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Edit DMZ Host 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.
VoIP/(802.11g) ADSL2+ (VPN) Firewall Router Edit One-to-One NAT (Network Address Translation) One-to-One NAT maps a specific private/local IP address to a global/public IP address. If you have multiple public/WAN IP addresses from you ISP, you are eligible for One-to-One NAT to utilize these IP addresses.
