Advanced Internet Functions

• Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applica-

tions, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications,

which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is included.

• Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connec-

tions or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define

and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used

normally.

• Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on

your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

• DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-

way communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides

the ability to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.

• URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN

users.

• Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made.

• VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking)
