This window also allows you to use the drop-down menu to select the desired Encapsulation Mode. Click the Next button to continue.
Section 3 – Configuration LAN You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it convenient to use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings for their private network. The IP address of the Router is the base address used for DHCP. In order to use the Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP address pool used for DHCP must be compatible with the IP address of the Router.
Section 3 – Configuration NAT To access the Network Address Translation (NAT) Setup window, click the NAT button in the Advanced Setup directory. The NAT button appears when configuring WAN interface in PPPoA, PPPoE, MER or IPoA. Virtual Servers This window is used to configure virtual server.

Section 3 – Configuration You can configure the service settings on this window by clicking the Select a Service radio button and then using the drop-down list to choose an existing service, or by clicking the Custom Server radio button and entering your own Application Rule in the field provided. Click Save/Apply when you are finished with the virtual server configuration.
Section 3 – Configuration Port Triggering Some applications require that the remote parties open specific ports in the Router’s firewall for access. Port Trigger dynamically opens the Open Ports in the firewall when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote party using Trigger Ports. The Router allows the remote party form the WAN side to establish new connections back to the application on the LAN side using the Open Ports.
Section 3 – Configuration You can configure the port settings on this window by clicking the Select an application radio button and then using the drop-down list to choose an existing application, or by clicking the Custom application radio button and entering your own Application Rule in the field provided. Click Save/Apply when you are finished with the port setting configuration. The new Application Rule will appear in the Port Triggering table.
Section 3 – Configuration DMZ Host Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router supports use of a DMZ IP address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and will therefore be visible to agents on the Internet with the right type of software. Keep in mind that any client PC in the DMZ will be exposed to various types of security risks.
Section 3 – Configuration Enter the information in the section. Explanations of parameters are described below. Click the Save/Apply button to add the entry in the Active Outbound IP Filtering table. Filters Parameter Filter Name Protocol Select IP Range by Source Port Destination Port Description Enter a name for the new filter. Select the transport protocol (Any, TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP or ICMP) that will be used for the filter rule. Select either IP address or Netmask to show different items.
Section 3 – Configuration IP Filtering – Incoming The Inbound Filter allows you to create a filter rule to allow incoming IP traffic by specifying a filter name and at least one condition on this window. All of the specified conditions in this filter rule must be satisfied for the rule to take effect. By default, all incoming IP traffic from the Internet is blocked when the firewall is enabled. If you are setting up the incoming IP filtering, click the Add button. Enter the information in the section.
Section 3 – Configuration Filters Parameter Filter Name Protocol Select IP Range by Source Port Destination Port Description Enter a name for the new filter. Select the transport protocol (Any, TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP or ICMP) that will be used for the filter rule. Select either IP address or Netmask to show different items. Source IP Address Enter the start and end IP address for the range of IP addresses which you are creating the filter rule.
Section 3 – Configuration Select a protocol (All, PPPoE, IPv4, IPv6, Apple Talk, IPX, NetBEUI or IGMP) in the Protocol Type list, type in a Destination MAC, a Source MAC or both in the entry fields. Select a direction (LAN=>WAN, WAN=>LAN, or LAN<=>WAN) in the Frame Direction list. Click the Save/Apply button to add the entry in the Active Bridge Filters table.
Section 3 – Configuration Quality of Service QoS or Quality of Service allows your Router to help prioritize the data packet flow in your Router and network. This is very important for time sensitive applications such as VoIP where it may help prevent dropped calls. Large amounts of non-critical data can be scaled so as not to affect these prioritized sensitive real-time programs. To access the QoS – Queue Management Configuration window, click the Quality of Service button in the Advanced Setup directory.
Section 3 – Configuration Queue Config Click the Add button to add a QoS Queue Configuration table entry. This window allows you to configure a QoS queue entry and assign it a specific network interface. Click the Save/Apply button to save and activate the filter.
Section 3 – Configuration QoS Classification Choose Add or Remove to configure network traffic classes. Use this window to create a traffic class rule to classify the upstream traffic, assign a queue that defines the precedence and the interface, and optionally overwrite the IP header DSCP byte. A rule consists of a class name and at least one condition. Please remember that all of the specified conditions on this window must be met for the rule to take effect.
Section 3 – Configuration Routing To access the Routing windows, click the Routing button in the Advanced Setup directory. Default Gateway If the Enable Automatic Assigned Default Gateway checkbox is ticked, the Router will accept the first default gateway assignment received from one of the enabled PPPoA, PPPoE, or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s). If this checkbox is not ticked, enter the static default gateway and/or a WAN interface. Click the Save/Apply button when you are finished.
Section 3 – Configuration Enter the static routing information for an entry to the routing table. Click the Save/Apply button when you are finished. RIP The RIP button appears when configuring WAN interface in Advanced Setup -> WAN -> Routing. The Router supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers. Click the Enabled radio button in Global RIP Mode to active the function. You can also configure individual interface in the table below.
Section 3 – Configuration DNS To access the DNS windows, click the DNS button in the Advanced Setup directory. The NAT button appears when configuring WAN interface in PPPoA, PPPoE, MER or IPoA. DNS Server If you have not been given specific DNS server IP addresses or if the Router is not pre-configured with DNS server information, tick the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox. Auto discovery DNS instructs the Router to automatically obtain the DNS IP address from the ISP through DHCP.
Section 3 – Configuration Enter the required DDNS information, click the Save/Apply button to save the information. Note DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS servers prior to engaging it on the Router. This function will not work without an accepted account with a DDNS server.
