Page 29: Virtual Server
4.5.1 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. A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP. -
Page 30: Special Ap
4.5.2 Special AP Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work, try setting your computer as the DMZ host instead. -
Page 31: Miscellaneous Items
4.5.3 Miscellaneous Items 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. -

Page 33: Packet Filter
4.6.1 Packet Filter 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 destined to Virtual Servers or DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies: 1. - Page 34 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. Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
- Page 35 Example 2: (1.2.3.100-1.2.3.119) They can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP (port 21) Others are all allowed. After Inbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button. Outbound Filter: To enable Outbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Outbound Packet Filter field.

4.6.2 Domain Filter Domain Filter let you prevent users under this device from accessing specific URLs. Domain Filter Enable Checke if you want to enable Domain Filter. Log DNS Query Checke if you want to log the action when someone accesses the specific URLs. Privilege IP Addresses Range Setting a group of hosts and privilege these hosts to access network without restriction. - Page 39 In this example: 1. URL include “sex.com” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file. 2. URL include “girl.com” will not be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file. 3. URL include “erotica.com” will be blocked, but the action will not be record in log-file. IP address X.X.X.1~ X.X.X.10 can access network without restriction.

Page 40: Url Blocking
4.6.3 URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect to pre-defined Websites. The major difference between “Domain filter” and “URL Blocking” is Domain filter require user to input suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking require user to input a keyword only. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword. - Page 41 In this example: 1.URL include “sex” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file. 2.URL include “erotica” will be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file 3.URL include “girl” will not be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file. 4.

4.7.5 Routing Table 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. Routing Table settings are settings used to setup the functions of static and dynamic routing. - Page 59 So if, for example, the host wanted to send an IP data gram to 192.168.3.88, it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.1.33 (a gateway), And if it sends Packets to 192.168.5.77 will go via 192.168.1.55 Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
