8. NAT 8.2 Virtual Server The virtual server option allows you to define port number on your IP-1000R v2 Broadband Router for redirection to an internal LAN IP address. This feature is useful for hosting online services such as FTP or Web servers.
9. Firewall 9 9. Firewall The IP-1000R v2 Broadband Router provides extensive Firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of hacker attacks and by defending against a wide array of common hacker attacks. The IP-1000R v2 Broadband Router provides packet filtering rules by restricting service ports, IP address or MAC address. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you may configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone (DMZ) 9.
9. Firewall 9.2 Client Filtering You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP addresses, application types, (i.e., HTTP port), and time of day. For example, this screen shows that clients in the address range 192.168.0.50-60 are blocked from using FTP (Port 21) from Sunday to the following Saturday and from 2:00AM to 11:00 PM 9.3 MAC Control MAC Control allows you to block certain client PCs from accessing the Internet based on MAC addresses.
9. Firewall 9.4 DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) If a local client PC cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall, open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a PC as a virtual DMZ Host. 9.5 URL Filter URL Filter is used to deny LAN computers from accessing specific web sites by its URL. A URL is a specially formatted text string that defines a location on the Internet. If any part of the URL contains the blocked word, the site will not be accessible.

12. Network Glossary NAT Network Address Translation. A network algorithm used by Routers to enables several PCs to share single IP address provided by the ISP. The IP that a router gets from the ISP side is called Real IP, the IP assigned to PC under the NAT environment is called Private IP. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol that enables a server to dynamically assign IP addresses.
12. Network Glossary MAC Media Access Control. MAC address provides layer-2 identification for Networking Devices. Each Ethernet device has its own unique address. The first 6 digits are unique for each manufacturer. When a network device have MAC access control feature, only the devices with the approved MAC address can connect with the network.
