To enable DMZ, enter the IP address of the computer you want to be live on the internet and click on Enable.
Security Settings The Security Settings pages allow you to configure the security management on the router such as Packet filters and MAC Control. Status The Status page lists any currently configured filtering for the Outbound, Inbound and Domain filters. Packet Filters The Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass through the router.
There are two types of filtering policies: Allow all data traffic to pass except those that match the specified rules. Deny all data traffic to pass except those that match the specified rules. You can specify up to 48 filtering rules for each direction (Inbound or Outbound). For each rule you will need to define the following: Source IP address Source port Destination IP address Destination port Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.
Domain Filters Domain Filters enable you to prevent users from accessing specific domain addresses. To enable the Domain Filter, tick the Enable tick box at the top of the page. OPTION DEFINITION Domain Filter Log DNS Query Select to enable or disable domain filtering. Enable this if you want to log when someone accesses filtered URLs.
URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers from connecting to a pre-defined website. The major difference between the Domain Filter and URL Blocking is that Domain Filtering require users to input a suffix (e.g. xxx.com, yyy.net) while URL Blocking only requires you to input a keyword. To enable URL Blocking, select the Enableoption at the top of the page.
MAC Control MAC Control allows you to assign different access rights for different users and to assign a specific IP address to a specific MAC address. To enable MAC Address Control, select the Enableoption at the top of the page.

System Log This enables you to set up the system log features of the router. You can also choose to send the system log to a remote syslog server (via a UDP connection) or email a copy to a recipient. OPTION DEFINITION IP Address for remote System Logs (syslog) Email address to send syslog to The IP address of the syslog server where the system log data will be sent. Click the "Enable" checkbox to enable this function. Click the “Enable” checkbox to enable this function.
Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS feature enables you to set a static domain name for their internet connection even whenthe ISP only provides a dynamic IP address. By mapping the host name to the current public IP address of the router, users who want to connect to the router or any services behind the router from the internet can just use the Dynamic DNS hostname instead of the IP Address which might change every time the router connects to the Internet.
QoS Quality of Service (QoS) is a collection of network technologies which allow configuration of different prioritiesfordifferent applications, users or data flows in order to guarantee a certain level of performance. The ultimate goal of QoS is to guarantee that the network delivers predictable results for availability, throughput, latency and error rate. QoS is especially important in ensuring the smooth operation of real-time streaming applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP), IPTV and online games.
Basic QoS configuration To configure QoS: 1. Set the QoS item to Enable. 2. The WAN Interface item displays the current WAN interface in use by the router and therefore to which interface the configuration applies. 3. Use the QoS Mode drop down list to set the QoS mode to Smart-QoS. 4. In the Bandwidth of Upstream field, enter the total upstream bandwidth of your broadband connection in Kilobits per second. 5.
7. Click the Add A New Rule button. A new screen to configure a QoS rule is displayed. 8. For the Rule item, check the Enable option. Use the descriptions in the table below to complete the rest of the settings for the rule. When the Class field is set to TCPPORT, UDPPORT, MAC, TOS or VLANPRI, you are able to add a conjunction rule. Click the Add A Conjunction (AND) Rule button that appears at the bottom of the page to add a conjunction rule.
Click on Save to store your setting or Undo to discard your changes. QoS configuration examples Example 1. To limit downstream bandwidth on LAN port 1 (IP address 192.168.20.2) to 100 KBps: Click the Add a New Rule button. Enter the settings as below. When the direction is set to “IN”, the QoS function checks packets coming from the WAN side to the LAN side. The QoS rule is displayed in the QoS Rules Table at the bottom of the screen.
Example 2 To limit the number of sessions (per port) that can be made in an outbound direction from the machine on LAN port 1 (192.168.20.2) to 4 sessions: Click the Add a New Rule button. Enter the settings as below. When the direction is set to “OUT”, the QoS function checks packets going from the LAN side to the WAN side. The QoS rule is displayed in the QoS Rules Table at the bottom of the screen.
SNMP SNMP (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. OPTION DEFINITION Get Community You must check Local, Remote or both to enable SNMP function. If Local is checked, this device will only respond to requests from LAN connected hosts. If Remote is checked, this device will respond to requests from the WAN connection.
Routing Routing tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data. If you have more than one router and subnet, you will need to configure the routing table to allow packets to find the proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other.
