Note: IP Address of the router will revert back to default setting of 192.168.0.1.
User Management In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router‟s configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password. You are strongly advised to change the password on the default “admin” account when you receive your router, and any time you reset your configuration to Factory Defaults. Valid: Check this box to enable this user account. User: Username of the user account.
Mail Alert Send a log via email, if WAN IP is changed or if intruders accessing your computer without permission. Server Information SMTP Server: Please enter the address of SMTP mail server for your outgoing emails. This is usually obtained from your ISP. Username: Username of your SMTP mail server account.
Firewall Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. See the WAN configuration section for more details on NAT.
Note: When using Virtual Servers (port mapping) your PCs are exposed to the ports specified opened in your firewall packet filter settings. Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet. Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious attacks. MAC Filter rules: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet.
Packet Filter Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up to 6 different filter rules for different users based on their IP addresses or their network Port number.
External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application. Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets. Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. Log: Choose “log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to a packet.
MAC Filter A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network‟s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router‟s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure to block specific machines from accessing your LAN. There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your requirements. MAC Address: Enter the MAC addresses you wish to filter.
Intrusion Detection Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack. This kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment functions or the operations of entire network. If this happens, users will have trouble accessing the network resources.
For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log but it will not be able to protect against such attacks Hacker attack types recognized by the IDS Intrusion Name Detect Parameter Blacklist Type of Block Duration Drop Packet Show Log Ascend Kill Ascend Kill data Src IP DoS Yes Yes WinNuke TCP Port135, 137~139, Flag: URG Src IP DoS Yes Yes Smurf ICMP type 8 Des IP is broadcast Dst IP Victim Protection Yes Yes Land attack SrcIP = DstIP Yes
ICMP Flood Max ICMP Count (Default 100 c/sec) Yes ICMP Echo Max PING Count (Default 15 c/sec) Yes Src IP: Source IP Dst Port: Destination Port Src Port: Source Port Dst IP: Destination IP Block WAN PING Check Enable if you wish to exclude outside PING requests from reaching this router.
URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.example.com ) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites from their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements. Keywords Filtering: Allows blocking by specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”).
Domains Filtering: Checks the domain name in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it matches, the URL request is sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). The checking procedure is: 1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt is sent to the remote web server. 2. If not, it is checked with the forbidden list. If present, the connection attempt is dropped. 3.
Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. Log: Click “Log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to the URL Filter.
QoS (Quality of Service) Quality of Service Introduction If you‟ve ever found your „net‟ speed has slowed to a crawl because another family member is using a P2P file sharing program, you‟ll understand why the Quality of Service features in the routers is such a breakthrough for home users and office users.
Application: A name that identifies an existing policy. Direction: The traffic flow direction to be controlled by the QoS policy. There are two settings to be provided in the Router: LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic flow from the local network to the outside world. e.g., you have a FTP server inside the local network and you want to have a limited traffic rate controlled by the QoS policy. So, you need to add a policy with LAN to WAN direction setting.

Priority: Specify the priority for the bandwidth that is not used. For examples, you may specify two different QoS policies for different applications. Both applications need a minimal bandwidth and need more bandwidth, beside the assigned one, if there is any available/non-used one available. So, you may specify which application can have higher priority to acquire the non-used bandwidth. High Normal: The default is normal priority.

Outgoing: minimal 30%.
Example QoS Setup VoIP Applications Voice is latency-sensitive application. Most VoIP devices are used SIP protocol and the port number will be assigned by SIP module automatically. Better to use fixed IP address for catching VoIP packets as high priority.
Virtual Server In TCP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them. If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e.
Well-known and Registered Ports Port Number Protocol Description 20 21 22 23 25 53 69 80 110 119 123 161 443 1503 1720 4000 7070 TCP TCP TCP & UDP TCP TCP TCP & UDP UDP TCP TCP TCP UDP TCP TCP & UDP TCP TCP TCP UDP FTP Data FTP Control SSH Remote Login Protocol Telnet SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) DNS (Domain Name Server) TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) World Wide Web HTTP POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) NEWS (Network News Transfer Protocol) NTP (Network Time Protocol) SNMP HTTPS T.
Port Mapping Application: Select the service you wish to configure Protocol: Automatic when you choose Application from listbox or select a protocol type which you want. External Port & Internal Port: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure. Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which requests from the specified port is forwarded. Add: Click to add a new virtual server rule. Click again and the next figure appears. Edit: Check the Rule No.
For example, if you set the port number 80 (Web/HTTP) to be mapped to the IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all incoming HTTP requests from outside users are forwarded to the local server (PC) with the IP address of 192.168.1.2. If the port is not listed as a predefined application, you need to add it manually. In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol is determined by the particular application.
DMZ The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets are checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms, it is then passed to the DMZ host when a packet received does not use a port number in use by any other Virtual Server entries. Note: Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network.
Wake on LAN Wake on LAN allows you to power on computers remotely through the WBR-6600 web user interface. Your PC or notebook will need to support feature. Enter the MAC address of the PC or notebook you want to wake up. Click Wake Up to power it on.
Time Schedule The Time Schedule supports up to 16 time slots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications. This Time Schedule correlates closely with router‟s time, since router does not have a real time clock on board; it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server from the Internet.
Advanced Configuration options within the Advanced section are for users who wish to take advantage of the more advanced features of the router. Users who do not understand the features should not attempt to reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support staff. There are seven items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Dynamic DNS, VLAN, Device Management, IGMP, SNMP Access Control and Remote Access.
Static Route Destination: The destination subnet IP address. Netmask: Subnet mask of the destination IP addresses based on above destination. Gateway: The gateway IP address to which packets are forwarded. Interface: Select the interface through which packets are forwarded. Cost: Represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 0 and 65535 Static ARP IP Address: The IP address you want to give to the LAN client.
Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.
VLAN VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a group of devices on different physical LAN segments that can communicate with each other as if they were all on the same physical LAN segment. For example, only Computers which have the same VLAN ID tags can communicate with each other. This feature is usually used together with Web Smart Switches such as LevelOne GSW-2473. LAN Group Name: The name you will give to this VLAN. VLAN ID: The ID tag you will give to this VLAN.
Device Management The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router‟s security options and device monitoring features. Embedded Web Server: HTTP Port: The port number of the router‟s embedded web server (for web-based configuration uses. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. You may specify an alternative if, for example, you are running a web server on a PC within your LAN.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP): UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.

Zero means always on. Allowed Access IP Address Range: Valid: Select Valid to allow remote management from these IP ranges. IP Address Range: Specify what IP address to be allowed to access device from remote side.
Save Configuration to Flash After changing the router‟s configuration settings, you must save all of the configuration parameters to FLASH to avoid losing them after turning off or resetting your router. Click “Save Config“ and click “Apply” to write your new configuration to FLASH. Restart Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved configuration).
Logout To exit the router‟s web interface, choose Logout. Please ensure that you have saved the configuration settings before you logout. Be aware that the router is restricted to only one PC accessing the configuration web pages at a time. Once a PC has logged into the web interface, other PCs cannot get access until the current PC has logged out of the web interface. If the previous PC forgets to logout, the second PC can access the page after a user-defined period, by default 3 minutes.
