Configuring Your Internet Firewall; Opening Doors In Your Firewall To Put Your Camera Online Or Authorize Access For A Computer To Certain Internet Services - Hercules HWNRi-300 User Manual

Hercules Wireless N Router
- The N Data Rate is specific to the transfer of data in the 802.11n standard. The values vary from MCS0 to
MCS15.
- Select the channel bandwidth.
Select bandwidth of 20MHz (on one channel) to limit interference, or define a higher bandwidth, 40MHz (two
channels), for transmission of your data in total comfort.
- The Preamble type defines the size of WiFi packets. A Short preamble optimizes transfer rates at the
expense of WiFi coverage. A Long preamble (selected by default) favors WiFi coverage by way of longer
latency times.
- If you do not wish for your network to broadcast its name, select the Disabled radio button.
If the SSID is hidden, the name of the network will not be displayed during detection by a WiFi client (the
Network name (SSID) is empty in Hercules WiFi Station N, for example).
Be sure to remember this name, as you will need it to connect your WiFi devices.
- CTS (Clear-To-Send) protection guarantees the connection of wireless B, G and N devices to the Hercules
Wireless N Router when using wireless B, G and N devices at the same time on the network.
Enabling this function may reduce the speed of your Hercules Wireless N Router.

5.2. Configuring your Internet firewall

In this chapter, you will learn how to lower certain defenses in order to authorize access to your computers or
your IP or WiFi camera for specific Internet services (P2P, web/FTP servers, viewing your camera on the
Internet...), or shore up other defenses to limit access on a specific computer to certain remote or Internet
services. Finally, you also have the possibility of redirecting all Internet requests to a computer whose
address you have specified.

Internet services (P2P, web/FTP servers...), or access specific services, you will have to open up mini-
drawbridges (referred to as ports) in your firewall using port forwarding.
To put your camera online or authorize access to one or more of your computers
