  • Page 35: Firewall Settings

    12 Firewall Settings The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
  • Page 36 If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN.
  • Page 37 Denial of Service (DoS) The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including Denial of Service, Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks occur the router can log the events. Discard Ping on WAN The router’s WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests.
  • Page 38 Access You can restrict users from accessing certain Internet applications/services (e.g. Internet websites, email, FTP etc.), Access Control allows users to define the traffic type permitted in your LAN. You can control which PC client can have access to these services. Deny If you select “Deny”...

  • Page 41: Advanced Settings

    13 Advanced Settings Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single Public IP Address or multiple Public IP Addresses. NAT provides Firewall protection from hacker attacks and has the flexibility to allow you to map Private IP Addresses to Public IP Addresses for key services such as Websites and FTP.
  • Page 42 Local IP This is the LAN client/host IP address that the Public Port number packet will be sent to. Local Port This is the port number (of the above Private IP host) that the below Public Port number will be changed to when the packet enters your LAN (to the LAN Server/Client IP) Type Select the port number protocol type (TCP, UDP or both).

After you enable the UPnP feature, all client systems that support UPnP, like Windows XP, can discover this router automatically and access the Internet through this router without having to configure anything.
  • Page 46 QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth.
