Introduction 1.1 Introducing the FBR-1461 Thank you for purchasing the FBR-1461 Modem Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL2/2+ modem, router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband connection.
Page 5
The FBR-1461 provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access.
1.2 Features Express Internet Access – ADSL2/2+ capable The FBR-1461 complies with ADSL worldwide standards. Supporting downstream rates of 8Mbps with ADSL, the router is capable of up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio which are easier and faster than ever.

DDNS service such as http://www.dyndns.org/. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) The FBR-1461 provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer.

Virtual Server: You can specify which services are visible to outside users. The router detects an incoming service request and forwards it to the specific local computer for handling. For example, you can assign a PC in a LAN to act as a Web server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside the web server directly while it is protected by NAT.
Do not use the same power source for the FBR-1461 as other equipment. Do not open or repair the case yourself. If the FBR-1461 is too hot, turn off the power immediately and have it repaired at a qualified service center.

5.3.4 Firewall Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
Page 57
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet. Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious attacks. MAC Filter rules: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet. ...
Page 58
Rule Name: Users-define description to identify this entry. The maximum name length is 32 characters, and then can choose application that they want from listbox. Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es).
Edit: Check the Rule No. you wish to edit, and then click “Edit”. Delete: Check the Rule No. you wish to delete, and then click “Delete”. Attention: If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address.
5.3.4.3 Intrusion Detection Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack if a user enables this function. This kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment or the entire network.

5.3.4.5 URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.example.com filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites from their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.
Page 64
Domains Filtering: Checks the domain name in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it matches, the URL request is sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). The checking procedure is: 1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt is sent to the remote web server.
Page 65
Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. Log: Click “Log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to the URL Filter.
5.3.5 QoS (Quality of Service) Quality of Service Introduction If you‟ve ever found your „net‟ speed has slowed to a crawl because another family member is using a P2P file sharing program, you‟ll understand why the Quality of Service features in the routers is such a breakthrough for home users and office users.

5.3.6 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”.
Page 73
Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below, for further information, please see IANA‟s website at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers 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 &...

5.3.6.1 Port Mapping Application: Select the service you wish to configure Protocol: Automatic when you choose Application from listbox or select a protocol type which you want. External Port & Internal Port: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure.
Page 75
For example, if you set the port number 80 (Web/HTTP) to be mapped to the IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all incoming HTTP requests from outside users are forwarded to the local server (PC) with the IP address of 192.168.1.2. If the port is not listed as a predefined application, you need to add it manually.
Page 76
5.3.6.2 DMZ DMZ: 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.
5.3.7 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;...
5.3.8 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.
