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. Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility on Access control.
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. 1. Trigger: the outbound port number issued by the application.. 2.
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. Non-standard FTP port You have to configure this item if you want to access an FTP server whose port number is not 21. This setting will be lost after rebooting.

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. 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 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). An empty implies all IP addresses. 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.
Example 2: (192.168.9.1-192.168.9.14) 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. Example 1: (192.168.123.100-192.168.123.149) They are allowed to send mail (port 25), receive mail (port 110), and browse Internet (port 80); port 53 (DNS) is necessary to resolve the domain name. (192.168.123.10-192.168.123.20) They can do everything (block nothing) Others are all blocked.
(192.168.123.100-192.168.123.119) They can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP (port 21) Others are allowed After Outbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button.
4.6.2 Domain Filter Domain Filter let you prevent users under this device from accessing specific URLs. Domain Filter Enable Check if you want to enable Domain Filter. Log DNS Query Check 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. Domain Suffix A suffix of URL to be restricted. For example, ".com", "xxx.com".
Example: 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. 4. IP address X.X.X.1~ X.X.X.10 can access network without restriction.
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. URL Blocking Enable Checked if you want to enable URL Blocking.
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.
4.6.4 MAC Address 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. 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. Connection control Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of which wired can connect to this device.
MAC Address MAC address indicates a specific client. IP Address Expected IP address of the corresponding client. Keep it empty if you don't care its IP address. C When "Connection control" is checked, check "C" will allow the corresponding client to connect to this device. In this page, we provide the following Combobox and button to help you to input the MAC address.
4.6.6 Miscellaneous Items 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 0.0.0.0, any host can connect to this product to perform administration task.
DoS Attack Detection When this feature is enabled, the router will detect and log the DoS attack comes from the Internet. Currently, the router can detect the following DoS attack: SYN Attack, WinNuke, Port Scan, Ping of Death, Land Attack etc. VPN PPTP/IPSec Pass-Through Please enable this feature, if you need to establish a PPTP or IPSEC connection that will pass through this device.

E-mail Subject The subject of email alert. This setting is optional.
4.7.3 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.
Username/E-mail Password/Key You will get this information when you register an account on a Dynamic DNS server. Example: After Dynamic DNS setting is configured, click the save button.
4.7.4 SNMP Setting 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. Enable SNMP You must check either Local or 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.
Example: 1. This device will response to SNMP client which’s get community is set as “public” 2. This device will response to SNMP client which’s set community is set as “private” 3. This device will response request from both LAN and WAN 4. This device will send SNMP Trap message to 192.168.123.
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.
Example: Configuration on NAT Router Destination SubnetMask Gateway Hop Enabled 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.123.216 1 ˇ 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.123.103 1 ˇ So if, for example, the client3 wanted to send an IP data gram to 192.168.0.2, it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.123.103 (a gateway), And if it sends Packets to 192.168.1.11 will go via 192.168.123.216 Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
4.7.6 Schedule Rule You can set the schedule time to decide which service will be turned on or off. Select the “enable” item.
You can write a rule name and set which day and what time to schedule from “Start Time” to “End Time”.
Schedule Enable Selected if you want to Enable the Scheduler. Edit To edit the schedule rule. Delete To delete the schedule rule, and the rule# of the rules behind the deleted one will decrease one automatically. Schedule Rule can be apply to Virtual server and Packet Filter, for example: Exanple1: Virtual Server – Apply Rule#1 (ftp time: everyday 14:10 to 16:20) Exanple2: Packet Filter – Apply Rule#1 (ftp time: everyday 14:10 to 16:20).
