Filter name: a user-defined filter name or you can select from the drop-down menu the application, and leave the automatically generated name as the Filter name. IP Version: IP Version,here IPv4. Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, ICMP) that the rule applies to. Source IP Address / Destination IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address (es).
Incomig In this Incoming IP filter, all incoming IP traffic is blocked when firewall is enabled on a WAN or LAN interface. But you can set up some rules to allow some IP traffic go through. You can change the default policy to change the default IP incoming policy. Click Add to add the new rules.
Page 84
Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, ICMP) that the rule applies to. Source IP Address / Destination IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address (es). Input the IP or IP/prefix ((such as single IP: 192.168.1.135/32.
MAC Filtering MAC Filtering is only effective on ATM PVCs configured in Bridge mode. FORWARDED means that all MAC layer frames will be forwarded except those matching with any of the specified rules in the following table. BLOCKED means that all MAC layer frames will be blocked except those matching with any of the specified rules in the following table.
Parental Control Time Restriction 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 during the specified time.
Page 87
Here you can see that the user 12 with a MAC 18:a9:05:04:12 is blocked to access the router from 00:00 to 23:59 Monday through Tuesday. If you needn’t this rule, you can check the box, press Remove, it will be OK.
Url Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http://www.example.com) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.

Passive: only receive the routing information broadcasted by other routers and modifies its routing table according to the received information.
DNS, Domain Name System, is a distributed database of TCP/IP application. DNS provides translation of Domain name to IP. You can select DNS Server from available WAN Interfaces or use the static DNS server by set the IP yourself.
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 ADSL 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 fromtime to time.
This screen allows you to set DSL parameters. DSL knowledge is required to configure these settings. Contact your ISP to make sure that these parameters are correct. Modulation: There are 7 modes “G.Dmt”, “G.lite”, “T1.413”, “ADSL2”, “AnnexL”, ”ADSL2+”, “AnnexM” that user can select for this connection. Phone line pair: This is for reserved only.
