3. Making Configuration 3.2.1. 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.
3. Making Configuration For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a Web server (port 80) at 192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following virtual server mapping table: Service Port Server IP Enable 21 192.168.123.1 V 80 192.168.123.2 V 1723 192.168.123.6 V Click on “Save” to store your settings or click “Undo” to give up the changes. 3.2.2.
3. Making Configuration 1. Trigger: The outbound port number issued by the application. 2.

Select your application and click “Copy to” to add the predefined setting to your list. Click on “Save” to store your settings or click “Undo” to give up the changes. 3.2.3. Miscellaneous 1.
3. Making Configuration 3.3 Security Setting 3.3.1. Packet Filters Packet Filter includes both outbound filter and inbound filter. And they have same way to setting. 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.
3. Making Configuration 1. Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules 2. Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define the following: • Source IP address • Source port • Destination IP address • Destination port • Protocol: TCP or UDP or both. • Use Rule# For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1) or a range of IP addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254).
3. Making Configuration 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. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule. Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
3. Making Configuration Domain Filter prevents users under this device from accessing specific URLs. 1. Domain Filter: Check if you want to enable Domain Filter. 2. Log DNS Query: Check if you want to log the action when someone accesses the specific URLs. 3. Privilege IP Address Range: Setting a group of hosts and privilege these hosts to access network without restriction. 4. Domain Suffix: A suffix of URL can be restricted, for example, ".com", "xxx.com". 5.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.3. URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect with pre-define 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. 1. URL Blocking: Check if you want to enable URL Blocking. 2.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.4. MAC Control MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for different users and to assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address. 1. MAC Address Control: Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”. All of the settings in this page will take effect only when “Enable” is checked. 2. Connection control: Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of which wired and wireless clients can connect with this device.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.5. Miscellaneous 1. Administrator Time-out: The time of no activity to logout automatically, you may set it to zero to disable this feature. 2. 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. If the specified IP address is 0.0.0.
3. Making Configuration 3.
3. Making Configuration 3.4.1. System Log This page supports two methods to export system logs to specific destination by means of syslog (UDP) and SMTP (TCP). The items you have to setup including: 1. IP Address for Sys log: Host IP of destination where sys log will be sent to. Check Enable to enable this function. 2. E-mail Alert Enable: Check if you want to enable Email alert (send syslog via email). 3. SMTP Server IP and Port: Input the SMTP server IP and port, which are connected with ':'.
3. Making Configuration 3.4.2. 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. Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS servers that we list in Provider field.
3. Making Configuration 3.4.3. QOS Provide different priority to different users or data flows, or guarantee a certain level of performance. 1. QOS Control: Check Enable to enable this function. 2. Bandwidth of Upstream: Set the limitation of upstream bandwidth 3. Local IP : Ports: Define the Local IP address and ports of packets 4. Remote IP : Ports: Define the Remote IP address and ports of packets 5. QoS Priority: This defines the priority level of the current Policy Configuration.
3. Making Configuration 3.4.4. 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. 1. Enable SNMP: You must check “Local”, “Remote” or both to enable SNMP function. If “Local” is checked, this device will response request from LAN. If “Remote” is checked, this device will response request from WAN. 2.
3. Making Configuration 3.4.5. Routing 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. The routing table allows you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. 1. Dynamic Routing: Routing Information Protocol (RIP) will exchange information about destinations for computing routes throughout the network.
3. Making Configuration 3.4.6. System Time 1. Time Zone: Select a time zone where this device locates. 2. Auto-Synchronization: Check the “Enable” checkbox to enable this function. Besides, you can select a NTP time server to consult UTC time. 3. Sync with Time Server: Click on the button if you want to set Date and Time by NTP Protocol manually. 4. Sync with my PC: Click on the button if you want to set Date and Time using PC’s Date and Time manually. .
3. Making Configuration 3.4.7. Scheduling You can set the schedule time to decide which service will be turned on or off. 1. Schedule: Check to enable the schedule rule settings. 2. Add New Rule: To create a schedule rule, click the “Add New Rule” button. You can edit the Name of Rule, Policy, and set the schedule time (Week day, Start Time, and End Time). The following example configures “ftp time” as everyday 14:10 to 16:20.
