4.3. Forwarding Rules Forwarding Rules > Virtual Server This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping.
Forwarding Rules > Miscellaneous IP Address of DMZ Host DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of firewall. It allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way communication for Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and other special applications. NOTE: This feature should be used only when needed.
4.4 Security Settings Security Settings > Packet filters Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter applies on all outbound packets. However, inbound filter applies on packets that are destined to Virtual Servers or DMZ host only.
For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). Add prefix "T" or "U" to specify TCP or UDP protocol. For example, T80, U53, U2000-2999, No prefix indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses. Packet Filter can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility on Access control.
Security Settings > URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect to pre-defined Websites. The major difference between “Domain filter” and “URL Blocking” is that Domain filter requires user to input suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking requires user to input a keyword only.
Security Settings > MAC Control MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access rights for different users and to assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address. • MAC Address Control: Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”.
Security Settings > PPTP Client You can set the router to connect to the PPTP server via PPTP client programme. • Enable PPTP client by clicking on the enable box. • Enable each server by clicking on the enable box on that line. •...
Security Settings > PPTP Server VPN gateway may serve also as a PPTP server, and allows for wireless access to the network after establishing a PPTP connection with it. The router supports three authentication protocols: PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP(v1) and MSCHAP(v2). If using MSCHAP-protocol, you may also enable MMPE security.
Security Settings > Miscellaneous Remote Administrator Host/Port In general, only Intranet user can browse the built-in web pages to perform administration task. This feature enables you to perform administration task from remote host. If this feature is enabled, only the specified IP address can perform remote administration.
4.5 Advanced Settings Advanced Settings > System Log This page supports two methods to export system logs to specific destination by means of syslog (UDP) and SMTP(TCP). • IP Address for Syslog: Host IP of destination where syslog will be sent to. •...
Advanced Settings > Dynamic DNS To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS). So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name of your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect your Internet service provider.
Advanced Settings > QoS QoS feature allows you to set priorities to different IP addresses, and thus limit their speed. • Enable QoS by clicking on the enable box • Define preferred upstream bandwidth speed. This can not be defined as 0. •...
Advanced Settings > SNMP In brief, SNMP, the Simple Network Management Protocol, is a protocol designed to give a user the capability to remotely manage a computer network by polling and setting terminal values and monitoring network events. • Enable SNMP: You must check either Local or Remote or both to enable SNMP function.
Advanced Settings > Routing Routing Tables Allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. If you have more than one routers and subnets, you will need to enable routing table to allow packets to find proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other.
Advanced Settings > System Time • Time Zone: Select a time zone where this device locates and router automatically adjusts its clock to right time. • Press “Sync with Time Server” if you want to synchronize your router’s clock with time server or press “Sync with my PC” if you want to synchronize your router’s clock with your PC.
Advanced Settings > Scheduling You can set the schedule time to decide which service will be turned on or off. Select the “Enable” item. Press “New Add” You can write a rule name and set which day and what time to schedule from “Start Time”...

Tools > Firmware Upgrade Newest firmware upgrade files can be found on our web page http://www.telewell.fi. Save the file on your computer, and then search for it on this page. Clicking on the upgrade button will update your firmware. You may also upload a previously saved settings file in the same way.
Tools > Miscellaneous MAC Address for Wake-on-LAN Wake-on-LAN is a technology that enables you to power up a networked device remotely. In order to enjoy this feature, the target device must be Wake-on-LAN enabled and you have to know the MAC address of this device, say 00-11-22-33-44-55. Clicking "Wake up"...
