For the sample priority assignment for different policies, it is served in a First-In-First-Out way. Internal IP Address: The IP address values for Local LAN machines you want to control. (For IP packets from LAN to WAN, it is the source IP address. For IP packages from WAN to LAN, it is the destination IP address.) Internal Port: The Application port values for local LAN machines you want to control.
Virtual Server In TCP 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”.

Well-known and Registered Ports Port Number Protocol Description FTP Data FTP Control TCP & UDP SSH Remote Login Protocol Telnet SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) TCP & UDP DNS (Domain Name Server) TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) World Wide Web HTTP POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) NEWS (Network News Transfer Protocol) NTP (Network Time Protocol)
Port Mapping Application: Select the service you wish to configure. Protocol: Automatic when you choose Application from list-box or select a protocol type which you want. External Port & Internal Port: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure. Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which requests from the specified port is forwarded.

Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from access by outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g.
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 are checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms, it is then passed to the DMZ host when a packet received does not use a port number in use by any other Virtual Server entries.

2. Click Add. The new except port will display below. 3. Click Delete to delete the one which you want to remove from the except list. Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual Server entry for “All”...
Wake on LAN Wake on LAN (WOL, sometimes WoL) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up remotely by a network message. Select: Select MAC address of the computer that you want to wake up or turn on remotely. Add: After selecting, click Add then you can perform the Wake-up action.
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 allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications. This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real time clock on board;...
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. There are seven items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Static ARP, Dynamic DNS, Device Management, IGMP, SNMP Access Control and Remote Access.
Static Route Destination: The destination subnet IP address. Netmask: Subnet mask of the destination IP addresses based on above destination. Gateway: The gateway IP address to which packets are forwarded. Interface: Select the interface through which packets are forwarded. Cost: Represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 0 and 65535.
Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your 3G 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.
Device Management The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s security options and device monitoring features. Embedded Web Server HTTP Port: The port number of the router’s embedded web server (for web-based configuration uses. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. You may specify an alternative if, for example, you are running a web server on a PC within your LAN.
