  • Page 104: System

    System There are 5 items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management Mail Alert. Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the most current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone from the drop down menu.
  • Page 105 Firmware Upgrade Your router’s firmware is the software that enables it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software that runs in your router. Thus, by upgrading the newly improved version of the firmware allows you the advantage to use newly integrated features.
  • Page 106 Backup / Restore These functions allow you to save a backup of the current configuration of your router to a defined location on your PC, or to restore a previously saved configuration. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup in hand in case any mistakes occur.
  • Page 107 Restart There are 2 options for you to choose from before restarting the 7800GZ device. You can either choose to restart your device to restore it to the Factory Default Settings or to restart the device with your current settings applied. Restarting your device to Factory Default Setting will be useful especially after you have accidentally changed your settings that may result in undesirable outcome.
  • Page 108 User Management In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a username and password. Therefore only system administrator can access the system. It is highly recommended that you change your password upon receiving your router. The default password is “admin”.
  • Page 109 Mail Alert Mail alert is designed to keep system administrator or other relevant personnel alerted of any unexpected events that might have occurred to the network computers or server for monitoring efficiency. With this alert system, appropriate solutions may be tackled to fix problems that may have arisen so that the server can be properly maintained SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP server that you would like to use for sending emails.

  • Page 110: Firewall

    Firewall Listed are the items under the Firewall section: Packet Filter, Ethernet MAC Filter, Wireless MAC Filter, Block WAN PING Filter. Packet Filter Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specific internal / external users (IP address) from Internet access, or disable specific service requests (Port number) to / from the Internet.
  • Page 111 External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application. Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets. Time Schedule: A self defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy.
  • Page 112 Ethernet MAC Filter 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.
  • Page 113 Wireless MAC Filter 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.

Enter the except IP address. Click Add to save your changes. The IP address will be entered into the Exception List, and excluded from the URL filtering rules in effect.

  • Page 118: Vpn

    Virtual Private Networks is ways to establish secured communication tunnels to an organization’s network via the Internet. IPSec Name: A given name for the connection (e.g. “connection to office”). Local Network: Set the IP address or subnet of the local network. Single Address: The IP address of the local host.
  • Page 119 Key Exchange Method: Displays key exchange method. Pre-Shared Key: This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128 characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a shared security policy and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that require a key.
  • Page 120 encryption method. AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as encryption method. Integrity Algorithm: Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not tampered with in transmit. There are 2 options: Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1).

  • Page 121: Qos - Quality Of Service

    QoS - Quality of Service QoS helps you to control the data upload traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet and/or Wireless) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you the features to control the quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full upstream load. After clicking the QoS item, you can Add/Edit/Delete a QoS policy.
  • Page 122 Example 1: Optimize Your Home Network with QoS If you are actively engaged in using P2P and are afraid of slowing down internet access throughput of other users within your network, you can thus use QoS function to set different priorities for the different applications that members of your network will be using to avoid bandwidth traffic from getting overloaded.
  • Page 123 Example 2: Optimize Your Home Network with QoS If you are running a lot of standard applications you can just create a QoS rule that has its port range set from 1 ~ 1024 and its priority set to High. This port range is defined in RFC and so it can be used by all standard applications like FTP, Telnet, and HTTPS etc.

  • Page 124: Virtual Server

    Virtual Server Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by Protocol and External port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is required only if the external port needs to be converted to a different port number used by the server on the LAN side.
  • Page 125 Example: List of some well-known and registered port numbers. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the central coordinator for the assignment of unique parameter values for Internet protocols. Port numbers range from 1 to 65535, but only ports numbers 1 to 1023 are reserved for privileged services and are designated as “well-known ports”...

  • Page 126: Port Mapping

    Port Mapping Application: Select the service you wish to configure. Protocol: A protocol is automatically applied when an Application is selected from the listbox or you may 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.
  • Page 127 In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol is determined by a particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you may also specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to “all” causes all incoming connection attempts using all protocols on all port numbers to be forwarded to the specified IP address.
  • Page 128 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 that do not use a port number which is already used by any other Virtual Server entries will first be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms before it is passed to the DMZ host.
