Chapter 6 Advanced Features 6 This Chapter explains when and how to use the LevelOne Broadband Router's "Advanced" Features. Overview The following advanced features are provided. • Special Applications • DMZ • Virtual Servers • Dynamic DNS • Remote Management Advanced Internet Screen This screen allows configuration of all advanced features relating to Internet access. • Conferencing and Telephony • Special Applications • DMZ • URL filter An exa mple screen is shown below.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Conferencing & Telephony Most applications are supported transparently by the LevelOne Broadband Router. But sometimes it is not clear which PC should receive an incoming connection.
Advanced Features Special Applications If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers, you may find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the LevelOne Broadband Router's firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special Application". Special Applications Screen This screen can be reached by clicking the Special Applications button on the Internet screen. You can then define your Special Applications.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Data - Special Applications Screen Checkbox Use this to Enable or Disable this Special Application as required. Name Enter a descriptive name to identify this Special Application. Incoming Ports Outgoing Ports • Type - Select the protocol (TCP or UDP) used when you receive data from the special application or service. (Note: Some applications use different protocols for outgoing and incoming data).
Advanced Features DMZ This feature, if enabled, allows one (1) computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication between the "DMZ PC" and other Internet users or Servers. • This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC". • The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data. • If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC".
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Data - URL Filter Screen Filter Strings Current Entries This lists any existing entries. If you have not entered any values, this list will be empty. Add Filter String To add an entry to the list, enter it here, and click the "Add" button. An entry may be a Domain name (e.g. www.trash.com) or simply a string. (e.g. ads/ ) Any URL which contains ANY entry ANYWHERE in the URL will be blocked.
Advanced Features Virtual Servers This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: • Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. • Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers, as illustrated below. 192.168.0.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Virtual Servers Screen The Virtual Servers screen is reached by the Virtual Servers link on the Advanced screen. An example screen is shown below. Figure 38: Virtual Servers Screen This screen lists a number of pre-defined Servers, and allows you to define your own Servers. Details of the selected Server are shown in the "Properties" area. Data - Virtual Servers Screen Servers Servers This lists a number of pre-defined Servers, plus any Servers you have defined.
Advanced Features External Port No. The port number used by Internet users when connecting to the Server. This is normally the same as the Internal Port Number. If it is different, this device will perform a "mapping" or "translation" function, allowing the server to use one port address, while clients use a different port address. Buttons Defaults This will delete any Servers you have defined, and set the predefined Servers to use their default port numbers.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide From the Internet, ALL Virtual Servers have the IP Address allocated by your ISP. Connecting to the Virtual Servers Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP). e.g. http://203.70.212.52 ftp://203.70.212.52 It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic.
Advanced Features Dynamic DNS Screen Select Advanced on the main menu, then Dynamic DNS, to see a screen like the following: Figure 39: DDNS Screen Data - Dynamic DNS Screen DDNS Service DDNS Service • You must sign up first to create a new account before using the service. The service is free. • Click this link to connect to the www.dyndns.org Web site. • Your initial password will be E-mailed to you; you can change this later if you wish.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Remote Management This feature allows you to manage the LevelOne Broadband Router via the Internet. Figure 40: Remote Management Screen Data - Remote Management Screen Remote Management Enable Remote Management Enable to allow management via the Internet. If Disabled, this device will ignore management connection attempts from the Internet. Port Number Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 (8080 is recommended).
Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration 7 This Chapter explains the settings available via the Advanced configuration section of the "Advanced" menu. Overview Normally, it is not necessary to use these screens, or change any settings. These screens and settings are provided to deal with non-standard situations, or to provide additional options for advanced users. The settings available are: PC Database This is the list of PCs shown when you select the "DMZ PC" or a "Virtual Server".
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide PC Database Screen The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses. An example PC Database screen is shown below. Figure 41: PC Database Screen • PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as required. • By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called "Obtain an IP Address automatically".
Advanced Configuration Delete Delete the selected PC from the list. This should be done in 2 situations: • The PC has been removed from your LAN. • The entry is incorrect. Refresh Update the data on screen. Generate Report Display a read-only list showing full details of all entries in the PC database.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Options This screen allows advanced users to enter or change a number of settings. For normal operation, there is no need to use this screen or change any settings. An example Options screen is shown below. Figure 42: Options Screen Data - Options Screen Backup DNS IP Address Enter the IP Address of the DNS (Domain Name Servers) here. These DNS will be used only if the primary DNS is unavailable.
Advanced Configuration Allow Internet access to be disabled • If checked, then UPnP users can disable Internet access via this device. • If Disabled, UPnP users can NOT disable Internet access via this device. But currently, this restriction only applies to users running Windows XP, who access the Properties via UPnP. (e.g.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide Printer Port This screen is available for the FBR-1401TX and FBR-1700TX only. Normally, the settings on this screen do not need to be changed. Figure 43: Printer Port Screen Logical Printers No (L1, L2, L3) Logical printer configuration is only required if using LPD printing under Linux or Unix. Otherwise, these settings are ignored There are 3 Logical Printers (Ports), named L1, L2, and L3.
Advanced Configuration MAC Address The MAC (hardware) address is a low-level network identifier. It may be called "MAC Address", "Hardware Address", or "Physical Address". On a PC, this address is associated with the Network card or adapter. The address on the MAC Address screen is the address on the Internet (WAN port) interface, and has no effect on the LAN interface.
LevelOne Broadband Router User Guide If the MAC address is changed, the LevelOne Broadband Router must restart. Routing Overview • If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page completely. • If the LevelOne Broadband Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers. • If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g.
Advanced Configuration Figure 45: Routing Screen Data - Routing Screen RIP Enable RIP Check this to enable the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) feature of the LevelOne Broadband Router.
