  • Page 99: Virtual Server (Known As Port Forwarding)

    Virtual Server (known as Port Forwarding) In TCP/IP and UDP networks, a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”.

  • Page 100: Add Virtual Server

    Add Virtual Server Because NAT can act as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from being accessed by outside users when using NAT, as all incoming connection attempts will point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network.
  • Page 101 Example: If you like to remotely access your Router through the Web/HTTP all the time, you will need to enable port number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map to the Router’s IP Address. Then all incoming HTTP requests from you (Remote side) will be forwarded to the Router with an IP address of 192.168.1.254.

  • Page 102: Edit Dmz Host

    Edit DMZ Host DMZ Host is a local computer that is exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets especially those that do not use the port number that is being used by any other Virtual Server entries will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms before being passed to the DMZ host.
  • Page 103 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 your ISP, you are eligible to use these IP addresses in One-to-One NAT Go to Configuration >...
  • Page 104 : 20 predefined rules are available. Application, Protocol and External/Redirect Ports will be filled after the selection. Protocol: It is the supported protocol for the virtual server. In addition to specifying the port number to be used, you will also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol used is determined by the particular application.

  • Page 107: Time Schedule

    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.

  • Page 110: Advanced

    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. These are the items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Static ARP, Dynamic DNS, Device Management and IGMP.

  • Page 111: Dynamic Dns

    Dynamic DNS 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 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 112: Device Management

    Device Management The Device Management advanced configuration setting allows you to control your router security option and device monitoring features. Device Host Name Host Name: Assign it a name. Note: The Host Name must have more than a word. These two words should be connected with a ‘.’...
  • Page 113 Embedded Web Server ( 2 Management IP Accounts) HTTP Port: This is the port number that the router embedded web server (for web-based configuration) will use. The default value is the standard HTTP port 80. Users may specify an alternative if, for example, they are running a web server on a PC within their LAN. Management IP Address: You may specify an IP address for logon and access the router web server.
  • Page 114 Specify a name and password for authentication and define the access right from an identified IP address. Once the authentication has succeeded, users with this IP address will be able to view and modify the data. SNMP Version: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 SNMPv2c is the combination of the enhanced protocol features of SNMPv2 without the SNMPv2 security.
  • Page 115 IGMP IGMP, known as Internet Group Management Protocol, is used to manage hosts from multicast group. IGMP Proxy: Enables or disables the router’s IGMP Proxy. Upstream Interface: When IGMP Proxy enabled, sets one of the router’s existing IP interfaces as the upstream interface;...
  • Page 116 upstream interface; all other router interfaces are designated downstream interfaces. MLD Forward All: select enable to forward the multicast packets to all ports. If select disable, the multicast packets will be forwarded to ports set according to the MLD Snooping below. MLD Snooping: similar to IGMP snooping, listens in on the MLD conversation between hosts and routers by processing MLD packets sent in a multicast network, and it analyzes all MLD packets between hosts and the connected multicast routers in the network.

  • Page 117: Logout

    Logout To exit the router web interface, choose Logout. Please save your configuration setting before logging out of the system. Be aware that the router configuration interface can only be accessed by one PC at a time. Therefore when a PC has logged into the system interface, the other users cannot access the system interface until the current user has logged out of the system.
