Most users will leave the default NAT setting, Enabled. If NAT is Disabled, the DSL-504G will function essentially as a invisible bridge. Any LAN IP addresses will be readily visible to properly equipped agents on the WAN. If you are using multiple virtual circuits, NAT will be disabled for all PVCs.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide Virtual Server A Virtual Server can allow remote users to access services on your LAN such as FTP for file transfers or SMTP and POP3 for e-mail. The DSL-504G will accept remote requests for these services at your Global IP Address, using the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and then redirect these requests to the server on your LAN with the Private IP address you specify. Remember that the Private IP Address must be within the range specified for your LAN.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide To configure a virtual server set, define the following settings in the Virtual Server configuration menu located in the top half of the browser window. NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) can be enabled or disabled system wide. Under certain circumstances it may be desirable to disable NAT, however this will render other router functions (such as DHCP) useless. Most users will leave NAT enabled.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide Filters Filter rules in the Router are put in place to allow or block specified traffic. The Filter Rules however can be used in a single direction to examine and then Allow or Deny traffic for Inbound (WAN to LAN) or Outbound (LAN to WAN) routed data. The rules based on IP address and TCP/UDP port. Configure the filter rules as desired and click the Apply button to create the rule.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide First determine the direction of the traffic you want the rule to filter. To filter WAN to LAN traffic, select the Inbound Filter option; notice that the Filter List at the bottom of the menu displays the Inbound Filter List. Any new Inbound Filter rules created will appear in the list. Likewise, should you choose to create an Outbound Filter rule, the Outbound Filter List of rules will appear at the bottom of the menu.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide Firewall The Firewall Configuration menu allows the Router to enforce specific predefined policies intended to protect against certain common types of attacks. There are two general types of protection that can be enabled on the Router, as well as filtering for specific packet types sometimes used by hackers. Figure 4- 5.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide Static Routing Use the Static Routing Table to specify a route used for data traffic within your Ethernet LAN or to route data on the WAN. This is used to specify that all packets destined for a particular network or subnet use a predetermined gateway. If the DSL-500G is the only routing device on your network and the only gateway to the Internet, you do not need to use static routing. However, for particular networking arrangements it may be desirable.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide RIP The Router supports RIP v1 and RIP v2 used to share routing tables with other Layer 3 routing devices on your local network or remote LAN. If your network does not employ another IP routing device, it will not be necessary to enable RIP. Figure 4- 7. RIP menu RIP can be enabled on any existing WNA or LAN interfaces. It may be specified to receive RIP requests and reply to them, it can be specified to send RIP queries, or to both receive and send RIP packets.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide ADSL Modulation Settings The default modulation technique used by the Router will automatically detect what ADSL protocol is used for your account.

This menu can be used as an alternative menu to configure the same settings found on the WAN menu in the Home directory. Figure 4- 10.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide Multiple Virtual Connections The Router supports multiple virtual connections. Up to eight PVCs to eight separate destinations can be created and operated simultaneously utilizing the same bandwidth. Additional PVC connections can be added for various purposes. For example, you may want to establish a private connection to remote office in order to create an extended LAN, or setup a server on a separate connection.
DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide In the example below, a new VC (Pvc1) has been added using the WAN Settings menu. The connection is setup as a bridged connection. Figure 4- 12. Configure new VC The new VC appears listed in the ATM VC Setting menu located in the Advanced directory. Figure 4- 13. New VC listed in ATM VC Settings menu Any VC may be configured in the ATM VC menu by clicking the notepad icon for the PVC you want to configure.
